Though software-wise, it is rather erratic. If good games come out one year, then the sales soar. On the other hand, if there is a lack of good games, then the sales will go down.
If Nintendo released something like Pokemon or another Mario for the Wii for instance, no doubt there will be a good boost in sales. Speaking of Pokemon, there have been rumors that Genius Sen. is making another game...
Definitely going down, but when you get to the top, you can only go down. Rather, if Nintendo's stock went up any more, the pie chart of the stock of game companies would turn into a pac-man again.

And why would you say "A more powerful console is the last thing that this ill industry needs". Would you expect Nintendo to not make a more powerful successor to the Wii, which is basically as powerful as a GameCube? And since they are making a more powerful successor, it only makes sense to make it more powerful than the competition, being that it is not too expensive to make a console more powerful than the X360 and PS3 in 2011. Plus, Nintendo will probably bring something new to the table, like how they did with the DS, Wii, and 3DS. Wouldn't that be something that "this ill industry needs"?
Also, I'd like to add, it would seem that Nintendo is being more aggressive with this system, in terms of marketing products (the console and controllers) with pretty good tech and smaller profit margins than the Wii (which has always had a large profit margin). If Nintendo is going to be more aggressive in this regard, it wouldn't be too surprising. They have made A LOT of money with the DS systems and the Wii.

Well, I trust Nintendo will make the right decision, whatever it will be.
My puny mind cannot fathom their greatness.
No problem with more powerful systems, but I just hope it doesn't come with a cost (like the PS3 or FF14).
