It is amazing to think that the Wii is going this strong into its 5th Christmas.  I see a lot of haters out there, but the Wii has almost finished the traditional Nintendo 5-year life-cycle and it is still going strong.  There should never be talk about Wii being doomed again, if the Wii declines it is just a natural part of console life-cycle from this point on. 

With a $50 price-cut, the Wii is going to continue to fly off shelves in 2011.  Just imagine, the Wii will be selling for $150, but many stores will be marking it down in the $100-$130 range-- which will make the Wii cheaper than Kinect.  The Wii will do fine, as long as it solidifies its 2011 software-- which looks pretty slim at this point. I just hope the Wii 2 doesn't realease too far ahead of the new M$ and Sony consoles-- I don't want to see the Wii 2 be utterly dominated in the technology race again.

Until this generation Nintendo was always relatively similar in technology to the competitors.  I personally don't want to buy 3 consoles again, and I am hoping I can play top 3rd party games again on a Nintendo console once again.  Here's hoping to a more technologically sophisticated Wii-successor!
