true that PSone and 2 were dominant, but MS is stronger than it and/or Sega was those gens so there may be less market for Nintendo when you consider they've got a strong MS and Sony to contend against. I wouldn't guess any less than 30, but the casuals are a real x factor. If they want HD they may just get PS3 or 360 which will be cheaper and still have pricecuts to go. Mario will sell his share, but Nintendo shouldn't rest on him completely. If the next smash bros can be a real phenomenon with online play for Nintendo it could be big. Zelda with the gamepad could also do very well (I think it could be used for puzzles wonderfully and will be nice for inventory management which was always tedious in previous zeldas). They're also pretty dependent on the price of competitors. If PS4 is only $400 then it's only $50 more than WiiU deluxe. Anyone can see the graphical difference there so that could be a problem for people who are on the fence. If they can get the price down $50 then we're talking about a pretty substantial difference.
