Are people still predicting doom and gloom for the Wii? You would think, after all this time, they'd catch on...
Nintendo has made a new sub-market. They have no competitors in that sub-market. Ergo they will not be "doomed" by the actions of the main market. This isn't the first time this has happened, and a lot of the same arguments are being made as back in the late 1980s. Just replace "360" and "PS3" with "C64" and "Amiga", and replace "Wii" with "NES", and there you go. Complete repeat.
The only way Nintendo will be in any trouble is if either a.) somebody disrupts the market and makes a new, better sub-market, or b.) somebody successfully invades their sub-market. Until then, these doom-n-gloom declarations are about as realistic as the claims made back in 1987 that the Commodore 64 and Amiga were going to clean the NES' clock any day now (even though the opposite was clearly already happening).
