Wii's steam is seriously coming to an end, there's no SW getting sold at all and there's no SW getting released either. I think it's time for Nintendo to unveil their new console. Will happen during 2011's E3 99% sure of that.

Third parties already abandoned the Wii for the most part and 1st party games are too few and too far to make an impact. At least they can get a head start next gen and Wii will be the best selling system this gen no matter how long their competitors stay afloat. They should be proud and simply move forwards before people start talking about something else. No 3DS doesn't count if we are talking about the home console side, with Natal and Move, if any of those becomes a hit, the Wii will not be the headlines anymore, considering third parties are more propense to develop for the new motion controllers than for the Wii.

Nintendo has proven it only takes one software to make the system a hit. Wii Sports did this with the Wii. New Super Mario Bros Wii turned a dry year into the best Christmas the Wii has ever had.

Right now, we know nothing about Nintendo's line up going into Q3/4 2010 or anything about 2011. There are no games announced save for maybe Wii Party and Wii Relax (and we saw, what, a few screens of the latter). We can not make judgements when we know nothing.

This post screams "Nintendo is doomed." Why does Nintendo need to release a new system so early when the Wii is still out preforming the competition? If Wii needs a new system in 2011, shouldn't the PS3 and 360 get one too? They are in less demand than Wiis are. And Nintendo just broke a record in the Holiday season in a very dry year. This means the Wii has a lot of potential. And Nintendo will announce software. It's as if you suspect Nintendo wont have anything. Hello, Zelda?

Also, lol at third parties. Since when has Nintendo had strong third party support? They have all been niche titles and rail shooters. How is having little to nothing any different. Nintendo, one their own, made the Wii. Which brings me to another point: Nintendo has been the only developer out there who has consistantly made successful motion control games. No one else has. The only contender is Ubisoft with "Just Dance." Do you really think Move or Natal will be a threat?

Nintendo will not release a new system until 2012 or when Sony announces their next system, which ever one comes first.

We have a bet going on then? 2011 will be the year Nintendo unveils their new console. And the Wii was the hot thing to get for the past couple of years but stem started running out last year and it will keep on decreasing at a fast rate this year. They need to keep innovating to keep the interest high and that's not very easy to do. Nintendo is projecting fewer Wii's sold this year while the competition is projecting more sales, how's that possible? Third parties are the answer. Wii isn't getting anything, you know you made no sense with "third parties don't count LLOLX!!" you know they do and you know that if the little support the Wii has left moves to the other consoles it will be really hard for Nintendo to keep the interst alive.

If Wii Party or Wii Relax fail to become the next Wii Fit, then it will be like 2009 all over again, except that this time it will be worst, since there aren't practically any 3rd party games worth getting in a long while and Nintendo can only do so much, considrering that 3DS is around the corner and they had probably already shifted A LOT of resources towards it. The Last Story, Xenoblade, Fling Smash, Metroid: Other M are only small games in terms of HW movers, they won't even make a minimal impact and they are perhaps the only games worth noting this year out of all (Epic Mickey is the only good game that comes to mind from 3rd parties).

Have you heard Miyamoto's interview I posted today and you will realize how disappointed he is with 3rd parties not making an effort and that he is screaming for them to make good games for the Wii. First time I see Miyamoto like that, Reggie was the only one to talk about that openly before.
