When Nintendo released the Wii they essentially just rebranded the Gamecube. So obviously the software would quickly follow. Microsoft/Sony could very well do the same.

Nintendo's always renamed their consoles because Nintendo is the brand. Nintendo= gaming.

Sony and Microsoft, however, have many fingers in many pies. They have invested a great deal in the Playstation and XBox names as their gaming brand, and I don't know that they will be willing to ditch those names.

What I was meaning was, Gamecube = Wii. Wiimote = potential Gamecube accessory. They also have a history of releasing many iterations of the same console.
