Why is everyone worried about the Wii?

This happened last year when the PS3 Slim came out, the Wii fell below Xbox 360 sales. I think the Wii will do fine, sales will be close with the PS3, but as soon as the Xbox 360 250 GB sales go down. The Wii will be on top again.



Like trestres said, the Wii could last 2 more years, but only if it had support and it doesn't, this is not a Wii is doomed post, i am not saying that.It is just that the Wii will live a natural 5 year life cicle.

I think the best strategy for nintendo is launch a console more powerful than PS3 at a 400$ price range and do the third parties make games as they are with 3DS. I think price is not a problem and nintendo knows that, because people got the Wii for 500 or 600 dollars on ebay for months after launch.


The Wii will definately last more than two more years, it has enough consoles sold for that. Remember its sold 70M which is only behind the PS1 and PS2 at this point in time. Further to that, if and when they release a new console it'll probably not be over $249 and definately not over $299 and it will be more powerful than the PS3, that much is certain at this point given a minimum release date of 2011.
