It really depends on how long its active. If they pull it out before it reaches 140 million then no it won't. Nintendo likes to make people move on to the new stuff faster.

No, Nintendo likes to support their platforms as long as possible. The GBA was delayed repeatedly because the GBC was selling so well. Nintendo supports their platforms as long as consumers do.

 

 

Consoles are a different beast good sir.

 

I am with Darc on this one.  Nintendo does not like to move people on to new stuff if they don't have to.  They like to milk platforms with minor changes to draw out it's life as long as possible.  Look at the DS, basically the same thing for 3 models to stretch it out.  Same thing with consoles, they will try to milk the market with colors, or other minor updates.  Consoles are the same for Nintendo, it's just that sometimes the competition doesn't let them stay with the same model as long...  Right now, that is far from an issue with the Wii...
