Slight exaggeration on my part, and I didn’t expect anyone to take it seriously. But with sales already declining, Nintendo will be forced to keep lowering the price to maintain market share. In two years it will probably be selling for $150, and it just won’t be making enough money to make Nintendo shareholders happy. Therefore I think they will introduce a new console, most likely priced at $250 again, to keep the momentum going.

You said it will go on “just like the PS2”. Well, just like the PS2, if Sony can support it and the PS3, why cannot Nintendo support the Wii and the Wii HD?

Also, I think the gaming market is somewhat split right now between HD gaming and casual gaming. I think that PS2 really captured both markets, which is why it was so successful. And although I agree that the Wii has expanded the casual market, I don’t think it will be as successful as the PS2.

And no, I don't have a crystal ball and I cannot see the future, but if I had to guess, that's what I think is going to happen. It is entirely possible that Nintendo will release some totally amazing game or peripheral and go on to sell another 100 million units, and make me eat my words.
