You know the 4th dimension is time right? We've been playing 3-d and 4-d for decades now, just nobody ever really refers to the 4th dimension. Sony used it as a marketing gadget that wasn't all that popular and saw a lot of complaints. In truth PS3 360 and Wii are all 4d as were PS2 PS1 N64 Gamecube Xbox etc. I mean you can argue it and all but it's pretty true. In fact you can argue that the wii has superior dimension support to the PS3! As in Physics the 5th dimension is argued to be Graviton a particle thought to carry the force of gravity. So wii is 5-D! lol sorry couldn't resist. Note: This was just a joke don't get all upset guys ok? Edit: I really think nintendo has an advantage here in that they can release a system earlier then the others due to profits and popularity and lead into next gen by a year with something superior and cheaper to PS3/360(don't argue it in 4 years it'd be pretty cheap to do either.) lead in hope to use Wii's success to garner heavy starting support and lead into the new gen with a substantial gap for the others to fill. (granted the extra year would allow PS4 and whatever microsoft does next to be more powerful but not enough to completly destroy Nintendos.) If handled properly and given enough support from 3rd parties it could prove good. Or it could end up like the 360 a secondary thought after the popular gaming console of last gen(PS2) up untill the other companies have time to bring out their products. |
Why lead into the next gen if they are popular and making profits, they can keep the Wii around longer, keep making money and slaes off of it, like Sony did with the PS2, and then release their next gen system when the Wii sales start to taper off, and by then it'll be cheaper for them to release a more advanced system, allowing them to keep prices at the mass market level
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)
