| Arius Dion said: Why would Nintendo cut the life of the Wii short? They've never done that when they were the market leading console. In fact Sony's 10 yr plan is nothing compared to the NES' lifetime, even the SNES' lifetime was longer than any Sony platform. That sort of reasoning is borderline insane. I really don't think alot of people grasp how ridiculous Wii's numbers are. We take it for granted now "oh another 600k in a month in America alone..whatever" Realize the ps2 only did this ONCE outside of the holiday season, Wii has done this in every month save for what july and some other month. The Wii can only go so long breaking ps2's records before it breaks its total record. As others have mentioned, the cards left to play are so abundant its not even funny. Colors, pricedrops, bundles etc. You know, all the things their competitors have already done. You may not want it to or may not think it "deserves to" (whatever the fuck that means) But its damn near a certainty, and understand that it is only a good thing for our industry. Read TWoO's post again, he pretty much breaks it down as to why Wii will probably just gracefully leap to the #1 spot on the all time list. Come september it will only be two consoles left, as the NES will fall then. |
Yea, that would be a stupid thing to do from nintendo.
