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.

What I was trying to say was that it wouldn't last two more years as the leading console(weekly sales).

I am sure it will continue selling well after two years, but not enough to be the leading console(weekly sales).

And if we align the consoles at launch the Wii is selling better than PS2, but it doesn't have the software support to continue selling after its successor launch like the PS2 had.

But its just my opinion, i can be wrong, and i would like to be wrong.
