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.

Sorry, I have never accepted that premise. The upgrade from GCN-> Wii, whiile not as significant as PS2 -> PS3, is significant nonetheless. Add in the change in interface, storage medium, and internet access, and it is at least as different from the GameCube as the DS was from the Game Boy SP.
