Nine Nintendo sales predictions

Early 2016 u really think Wii will be out that long.

Please tell me why it would not.

The only reason people can name is that the Wii would be graphically inferior. Well, it already is graphically inferior and it's still kicking ever other console's butt. Also, the PS1 and PS2 were graphically inferior too way before they stopped selling. It's a moot point.

Do you have any other reason?

 

Well, the PS2, by far the most dominant console in history, only sold well for eight years and two years after its successor released, putting the outside limit for good Wii sales at 2014. Also, I don't care how well the Wii sells, it won't be nearly as dominant as the PS2 (120/(21+24) > 150/(70+65)). Add that to the fact that the Wii will be much more inferior to contemporary standards in 2014 than the PS2 is in 2008, and I don't see any way the Wii can keep selling for ten years. There's also no way Nintendo will wait to release the Wii 2 in 2014... Other than that though, I'd say your predictions are spot on.
