| HappySqurriel said: In 2011 the performance difference between the hardware that could be launched for $200/$300 and the PS3 (or XBox 360) is similar in size to the performance difference between the PS3 (or XBox 360) and the Wii. At the same time, 5 years of research and development from any of the companies on the next generation Wiimote is likely going to produce an input device which is far better for motion controlled games as well as conventional games. Basically, between Q3 of 2010 and Q4 2012 all three companies will have released new hardware because they will be obsolete in comparison to the competition. |
I doubt Nintendo is going to go with a remote controller for next gen, I think they will try to make it even more natural by going with a system that works more like the computer in Minority report, just using your hand
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
