^It won't be a $300 system vs. a $100 system, the next Nintendo console won't be over $250, Iwata isn't stupid, he knows people won't be as interested in a system at that price, and the Wii is no where near $100 and won't be for a good long while, why price cut when its still selling this well.
Virtual console and the BW compatibility with the GCN was a positive reason to buy a Wii, why would Nintendo abandon that? If the casual games are playable on the new system, for only $50 more, why would they buy a Wii? And do you really think Nintendo can support two consoles fully, they don't have the teams.
Then you'd be hurting the new system, think about it, the Wii was a success because of the expanded market, why would they try and exclude them from the new console and lose that success.
NATAl won't be a success, they don't have the software to challenge the Wii, and yeah Nintendo can ignore them for a year or two, they ignored them with the 360, they launched a year later, they can do that again.
Delaying the inevitable is enough to give Nintendo market dominance and you really think Nintendo doesn't have something up their sleeve, look at the vitality sensor.
Momentum is a ridiculous concept, there's no momentum across generations, you need to come out with the system that appeal the most, and Nintendo can do that by disrupting the market again and they can launch last to do that.
No they won't steal momentum, because they can't disrupt the market like Nintendo can.
No it won't kill the Wii, because NATAL won't have the software to challenge the Wii.
No it won't they'll want to develop for the new system with its higher graphics
No it won't Nintendo can always disrupt the market like with the Wii and crush Sony and MS
Wrong if they launch first the Wii will die and their competitors will copy and release competing systems which will kill Nintendo's new system before it can gain dominance.
Yes Wii would stop selling because software would stop coming Nintendo can't support two consoles
Your arguments only prove why the new Wii system won't come in 2011, your arguments don't take into account how the market works or how Nintendo works or how Sony and MS work
