The wii is imo this generations PS2 (barring the mature and 3rd paty content the latter saw) but it is very much the"go to" console for most "casual" gamers and a price drop next year will only further cement this. |
It's funny how people seem to think the Wii will have this momumental dropoff for no apparent reason, especialy considering Nintendo will probably support the console for at least one more year. Even if Nintendo DOES release a new console in the near future and cut off the life of the Wii prematurely, it should still sell strong, just like PS2 did after PS3's launch.
Everybody seems to love to point to future price drops for the PS3 in the future as the weapon that will catapult it over 360 and much closer to Wii, while they all forget that Nintendo has at least 2 more $50 price drops in their arsenal, and several possible additional bundles. Wii at $100 and its own ground-up Zelda game will be a force to be reckoned with, even if it has hardly any games released for it anymore.
