Remind me again of the release years of the SNES and the N64, oh, but it has slipped my mind

It's not the release, but how long before discontinuing. The N64 and GC lasted about 5 years, the SNES/Super Famicom lasted 8 (1990-1998), and the NES about 10.

1. Discontinuation of hardware is not the same as meaningful software support, whichh has rarely survived subsequent console launches, which is what I mean by support.

2. The conversation you insinuated yourself into was related to the point that Nintendo is not dropping the ball on the Wii in terms of support, not the semantics which you misunderstood in the first place.

Well you should have clearly stated your point, not blame me for thinking another of the possible meanings you left open.

But you're still wrong. The support for the SNES and NES was still longer than your claim.

No, you have a history of misunderstanding people when they're being relativley clear, me in particular; I am fully comfortable letting you shoulder this one, a-yup.

As to the last: firstly you are missing the core point, which is that Nintendo is not abandoning the Wii in a way that isn't in keeping with their treatment of previous mainline consoles. Secondly you have yet to qualify meaningful support for the NES and  (especially) SNES post-successor-launch.
