Wada is speaking to investors, investors who want to see more Wii games, for profits, so by saying that there will be a new Wii in 2011 he can explain why they aren't developing more games for Wii
Nintendo will only launch the next console when its more profitable to do so than to stick with Wii, that is a while off, not to mention they won't be announcing a new console next E3, due to Zelda Wii, the Vitality sensor games, etc., So E3 2011 is the earliest time for announcing it, which means a late 2012 release at the earliest, but that will only happen if Sony and MS are about to launch new consoles as well or if Wii profits have fallen off sharply.
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
