@Cidien: Considering Nintendo has been in the business for 35 years, the companys big heads have been in the industry for ages too and it was able to pull out Wii and DS, it looks like Nintendo really knows its business better than anyone.
With GC, Nintendo seemed to play survival to keep itself in the business until for the better times. Basically its problem was that it didn't try to be different from the competition.
Wii software sales indicates that Wii owners in general are happy with their purchase (you can find unhappy customers for any product there is) and it's expected to follow the same pattern with DS (another "fad" that is yet to lose its momentum).
Basically the only thing that could kill the Wii, would be to end game releases for the system. As long as the expanded audience gets games that are made them in mind, as long they keep playing games and as long as "bridge" games, that introduces them to the more traditional type of gaming, the expanded audience keeps playing games and tries games they haven't played before.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
