Imagine that scenario, in 4 years, Nintendo came up with a console that can do anything the wii can do, plus having HD, plus having bluray, plus having a internal HD, plus some new marvel that ninteno could pull to continue to suprise the market. Then you put at $300. Nobody would buy a wii, not even as paper weight. The MS will try to pull the same string they pull this gen and will launch their console early( hopefully without too many deffects), letting x360 die like they did with the xb. The ps3 will be outdated, but not by that much. Sony will not burn a fortune again to pull a gold priced plataform at release. They will upgrade a little the ps3, put something like the wii remote (obligatoty for next gen) along with the old pad, Bc (hopefully) and lauch it at a resonable price. But the ps3 will continue to be viable. It will be cheap, will have a large library, and work as media hub, won´t have the ps2 legs, but will be better than the last gen second places( n64, GC, XB,...). After ps4, I think it will sell 10 mln in 3 or 4 years before the plug is pulled. |
4 years from now sounds fine to me, after all that will be 6 years from Wii launch... the same length of time as between PS1>PS2 and PS2>PS3.
Fine by me... but they are not going to do that sooner than 4 years from now because there is no point, the Wii does not live or die upon it's technical specifications, and thus when the next Nintendo console comes out, the Wii will continue selling for a while because it will still be popular, and cheaper than all the new consoles, just like the PS2, PS1, SNES, NES before it.
