Did Nintendo just Dreamcast the PSP2?

Okay, you're not following... the reason exclusives are fewer and farther between, and usually need to be bought, is precisely because no console amassed a PS2 like lead (ie: huge AND early).  Wii2 could do that if it's handled right, and I think Nintendo's going to try...

I also really have no idea what differentiating factor Wii2 will sport, but I'm sure there'll be something. And again, 3DS is somewhat telling as it's not only done that but also incorporated basically everything PSP had over DS originally... expect Wii2 to do the same with 360/PS3 (HD, voice-chat, Blu-ray, etc).  But really, you're wrong about Nintendo never going hi-spec... Wii's quite literally the first console where they've held back in that regard (well, Famicom too arguably).

And really, Q4 2011 basically makes the most sense imo.  A 5 year cycle for Wii seems perfect, and Nintendo already moving on from Wii internally (and 3rd parties never really showed up)... I know some don't like to hear it (MS and Sony likely included, they want to hold on as long as possible), but Wii 2 really is on the horizon and it is going to jumpstart next gen...

my point is so what if it does...ythe point you overlooking is in order for it to gain that market share these system's would have to just pretty much stop selling for that to happen..the xbox360 had over a 10 million lead, but yet the PS3 still had most of the exclusive's as the XBOX360.

UNLESS NINTENDO does what Sony have and Microsoft has 3RD party esp. the Publisher's are going to make every thing multiple platform..there is just more money in it.

you have to give these 3RD party's an incentive largest install base or no largest install base the day's of the 3RD party Exclusive is very much over with.

that's not going to change GTA 4 sold how much cross platform, FF13 sold how much multiplatform?

think about this the Wii replacement is going to have motion control's?

are they going to leave the origional Wii out in the cold?

the many people that has bought the Wii many casual's are still happy with what the Wii offer's they are in no hurry to upgrade because it's still being purchased at a record pace.
