Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo releasing big guns all this year? Hmm somethings fishy..

i was thinking more on the lines of 2010.. heh my brain just started working and obviously nintendo keeps hardware around till it doesnt sell anymore... so the way things are going we probably wont see a new system for awhile.



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

Nintendo did say they expect the Wii to have a short lifespan - of about 4years. They also said they hope to sell around 60m units in its lifetime.

I won't complain if the "Wii Deluxe" comes out around 2010... Im hoping for a move back to high-capacity carts.. :)

Shams, can you cite that? I've never seen that stated.

no, they didn't say any of that stuff, stop making up stuff.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

That's nice for 2007, but I'm left wondering what they'll have left in the bag for 2008. Hopefully a new Zelda, but those seem to take centuries to make. :D

So the Big N is releasing Metroid,Mario,and Smash Brothers Brawl all this year?

very very un-characteristic of nintendo to release all their big guns early..

Hmmm...

could it possibly mean that their "next gen" console will come out rather earlier than expected?


 Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, I see big guns still in the holster



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

guarunteed, one of them will be delayed until 2008. of course, here in Australia I bet none of them will be out till 2008 =(

I belive the same about EU. PAL always gets f****d



 

 

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!

If they make a Pokemon MMO that would take care of 2008



A year after the Wii was released is hardly early for the big games, i have nothing to play so I go on www.wiicade.com now! No one has mentioned animal Crossing for the Wii yet, but will it be a huge seller like on the DS?



it doesn't really matter when those games come out. while it may initially canibalize their sales by having so many big games come out at once, their major franchises will continue to sell throughout the life of the wii. smash bros melee, mario sunshine, and double dash were all consistently strong long-term sellers throughout the life of the cube. metroid, not so much...
