The reason why the PS1 and was available for several years (together with the PS2 that is still selling) is because those consoles were very succesful.
The N64 and Gamecube not so much, so Nintendo had to stop selling those systems.
But now is different. Just look how many years the Gameboy was available. Why? Because the Gameboy was in the same position as the PS1 and PS2, selling 120 million, from 1989 to 2001. Thats 12 years! WAY LONGER than Sony support to their consoles.
Now the Wii AND the DS are in the same position. When the Wii HD, or Wii 2.0 is available, Nintendo will still selling the Wii, lets say at $100 dlls.
