SONY is definitely gonna lose that battle..lol..NINTENDO is literally one step ahead as always.


Not really as they haven't announced Wii HD and if they don't this year and most probably will not it could be FATAL as for next gen they just can't bring an HD upgrade

 

and by that time NATAL,MOVE would have eaten Wii's share

Iwata: *laughs*

Why would choosing nto to release an unnecessary 'upgrade' to the most popular console be fatal for a next gen of clean slate consoles?

AS the current popularity can help them with the release of their next console

 

if they release in 2012 the next Nintendo console,by then Wii's are maket share is just 40%,,that will be bad

 

also PS4 will be releasing cheap this time and MS as always would like to spend their money


And yet Nintendo was coming off a sub 20% marketshare with the Gamecube, and came out with the Wii thereafter, which exploded in popularity and achieved close to 50% marketshare in 3 and a half years time.

Wii will not fall to 40%, that sort of drop is astronimical in 2 years, when so many consoles have already been sold. But even if it DOES, it doesn't have a bearing on the next gen of consoles. I think PS2 to PS3 and Gamecube to Wii prove that point pretty clearly.

Releasing the next Nintendo console this year or next would be far more foolish than releasing it in 2012-2014, especially considering the 3DS is already coming out next year. Reggie even said, "the potential of Wii is nowhere near being recognised." I think Nintendo really believes that. You don't rush out the next console when motion plus is just getting going and Vitality Sensor has yet to be released.

i am not saying release this year but announce for next year and showcase this year

also if not a new console something new which will hord off the MOV and NATAL thing

 

Wii explodd in popularity but only because the console with most popularity and brnad name was expensive.if PS3 was $299 then no way Wii was going to be a success with Playstation brand being so strong that time

 

and you say it went to 50% in 3 years,it can centainly drop 10% in 2 years if they go without thinking about the competition

 

"Wii will not fall to 40%, that sort of drop is astronimical in 2 years, when so many consoles have already been sold. But even if it DOES, it doesn't have a bearing on the next gen of consoles. I think PS2 to PS3 and Gamecube to Wii prove that point pretty clearly."

 

lol.... PS2 to PS3 and GC to Wii was because of the expensive PS3 again.PS4 won't be that expensive now that blu-ray is cheap

 

motion plus is just get going-MOtion plus sin't really doing anything,it adds precise motion controls but people din't really care about it as most are casuals and also no wonder they bought Wii before Motion plus cause they didn't care about it.

 

Vitiality sensor could be important to holding of Move and NATAL and acting as a new buying point but we will have to see cause atm it sounds pretty serious stuff which causals don't like

 

Whatever Reggie says does hide the fact that their compeitors are climbing fast

 

3DS is coming this year
