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.

Metallicube Im thinking the same thing 2 years after the handheld,thtas how it seems to work,so Wii 2 in 2012.
