They don't really need to worry, 3DS will be out next year and I imagin Wii 2 or whatever's next is round the corner.

Can't see Wii having a lifespan similar to PS2 at this stage though ..

Isn't it outselling the PS2 at this point in it's lifecycle?

It's kinda odd to suggest it won't have as good a lifecycle as something it's outselling.

Gaming community mentality gets a lot of things twisted.

Wii will not outsell PS2.

a) It doesn't have huge third party support like PS2 so it will not have as long lifespan as PS2 had. Nintendo has already 3DS to support and with Wii 2 they don't have manpower to support three platforms.

b) Nintendo doesn't have as good distribution network as Sony because they are only gaming company so Wii will not sell as much as PS2 in developing markets.

DS will outsell PS2 and I think Wii has a shot at PS1.
