I always wonder how well the next iteration of the system (Wii 2?)will do. I can't see it being anywhere near as successful as I don't see casual gamers having a need to pick up the next system. Perhaps some new features will be able to sell the next system to the same crowd. |
They don't 'need' to pick up the latest evolution of the iPod, either--see where that wound up?

Well the previous ipod and the ipod touch have enough differences and new features that may have swayed people to purchase it. That's why I said made the new features comment.

Well, of course their new system will have new features--it wouldn't be a new system without them XD

Not necessarily. Look at the changes in some of the previous generations of consoles. They improved the specs of the systems to make the systems more powerful. Take the NES to Super Nintendo. What new features were introduced in the system?
As for features, I'm not talking about the power of the consoles; the uniqueness of the Wii's style and more interactive control system (wii remote, balance board) is a main draw for the system. But if the release a similiar system with just a boost in "power", I just don't see a reason for casual gamers to pick it up. I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen though.
