Do you think Nintendo is making a mistake by releasing 3DS instead of Wii 2

Ever heard that the best time to introduce a new concept is when the last one is still in its prime?

The DS is doing great why not ride that momentum with a new handheld. Also you think Nintendo wasn't aware Sony was working on PSP2, they probubly even knew that Sony planned to release it next winter, they knew if they beat Sony to the punch and released something revolutionary that it would take the market by storm.

I think Nintendo did the smart thing by revealing the 3DS and those high DS hardware sales will continue thanks to continued software support and price cuts. When will Wii2 come? soon enough I'd say it'll be revealed next E3 but Nintendo couldn't release two platforms in the same year now could they, also Microsoft and Sony's next generation platforms aren't ready yet so why jump the gun early and run out of steam by the time the competition is ready.

I agree numbers wise the Wii is in alot more need for a replacement, but the DS is the smart move.

Actually, while the DS sells more hardware, it sells less software. And YOY, it is down much more  than the Wii.

Yah I was refering to hardware. I know that the DS is drying up fast software wise with the exception of Nintendo published titles.
