not going to happen. 2012 will usher in new machines and as usual the "losers" will fade out really quickly.

with the low 3rd party support the "winner" is getting my feeling is that the "winner" is the one that is going to fade out quickly. the "losers" can still survive for some time with the devs and publishers support...

 

If we assume the 2012 date to be true, who do you think is more likely to buy a 7 year old game console in 2013, the demographs that frequent the Wii or the demographs that frequent the HD consoles?

in 2012 with nearly no 3rd party support (not saying its going to happen but all clues point to that) and only nintendo games coming out, there may be somebody to buy it, but many people with no money to upgrade to the next gen and still getting the games for the current one might do the purchase... nintendo have very popular and strong franchises, but they aren't that many, and the HD twins seems to also have some very popular and strong franchises but they are in bigger number and in bigger genres so they appeal to larger demographics...

IMO
