The Wii's lifecycle should be at least 5 years which is acceptable in terms of a console. I mean even though the Saturn and Gamecube didn't exactly have long lifespans, they aren't really viewed as fads. They were legitimate systems. The 3D0 on the other hand, I can't say the same thing for.

 

 I agree about this. It should last for at least 5 years, probably longer in my opinion. Even if sales were to slow down (which they eventually will) I think that the point when you could call Wii a fad has long since passed. I think the reason many continued to see Wii this way was because it symbolised something intirely new to the videogamingworld which left some confused and other flat out disliked the concept and thus hoped for it´s demise. The fact that it has been so highly succesfull only adds fuel to the anger of some.
