| shams said: This will be the 4th Xmas of the Wii - its been out for 2.5 years already. No price cuts, no new models, no colours... It could easily be 7-8 years before a "real" successor is launched, and the Wii could easily last another 2-3 years after that. So 10 years? More than possible. |
It will stay in production with support for ten years, barring some sort of gaming market crash if the general public loses interest in video games again.
They'll be profitable at $99 if said worst case scenario never happens. And really, unless earnings plateau or begin to drop, there isn't any reason to jump the gun, not that Nintendo isn't working on a contingency plan in the event that they want to use a bit of that fat cash to finance a new platform (or how about announcing a stock buy back?!)
