Don't worry for Wii, its price can be cut at least another two times, if necessary. This should give it at the very least another two years of life as main Nintendo console and another two or three, even four, as entry level after Wii2 is launched, as at $100 or less Wii could keep on selling a lot for years (but at that point it would make sense anyway for Ninty to have an higher end console on sale too, as after more than 6 years from the previous, there would be a big market available and waiting for it). One more year could also be earned bundling Balance Boarde instead of making a price cut.

Thats something nintendo wont and cant do, simply because they have very little support from 3partys and don't have the resources to feed 3 maybe 4 consoles (counting the DS)all by themselves as soon as the wii 2 gets launched  by then nintendo will focus on 3DS and  WII2 exclusively even if the WII2 has backwards compatibility

For a NEW Wii buyer, EVERY game available, even the oldest, whether from Nintendo or 3rd party matters little, will be NEW.

People buying Wii for less than $100 will be very happy with platinum and other budget editions, bargain bins, etc. Some new games will be necessary, but in that phase multiplat ports will be acceptable, and the huge installed base will totally justify them, like it did with PS2. People are still buying PS2, even now that releases are becoming scarcer and scarcer, but the available library is immense. Anyway, even just 2 years as entry level console, after 5 or 6 years or even 7 as main console would mean a lifecycle ranging from 7 to 9 years total. Not as long-lived as PS2, but quite good anyway, and enough to largely exceed 120M sold.
