So if they are releasing the 3DS due to a drop in sales for the DS, then won't they be releasing the Wii 2 next year if theres a slump in sales for the Wii?

I doubt they would release their next console the same year as the 3DS. Especially since Vitality Sensor has not even been released yet and motion plus games are just getting going.

Remember DS came out in 2004, two years before the Wii. So I think Nintendo will follow a same pattern and release the next console 2 years after the 3DS, so probably 2012 in Japan, and 2013 in the West.

They also released the Gamecube 5 years ago, so Wii2 in 2011 confirmed? I suspect its in relation to whether the system can do what they want it to do and how the sales of the system perform. If both trigger the alarm then the new console is incoming within 12-24 months. I don't think anyone can say that because they release handheld and home consoles X number of years apart that the next home console has to be after 2012 or 2013.



Tease.
