I think Nintendo will show more about Motion Plus games than another system

well i can 100% agree with you and what they should do but frankly, i don't think it is going to go down like that.   i look at the basket of unsupported peripherals nintendo got me to buy and then never support with games and i fully expect nintendo to just throw the entire wii hardware into that basket as well.  my money is on the new hardware taking the spotlight and nintendo dropping support for the wii altogther.  looking at this year's releases it really appears like they already have.

Again, I bring up that gap between now and the release of the next system. Anything later than the end of this year would be long enough to lose momentum needed to keep their customer base, get any new ones if they find another killer app, and keep revenue high.

Coasting is not a financially viable option unless they want to pull a Saturn surprise with the next system. That's why I say they won't do it.

well, how long may i ask do you think it will be before nintendo releases their next hardware?

to me, this year is not completely how of the question.  although more likely i think it will be basically on the 3DS's one year anniversy.  there are a lot of rumors out there and for the most part you have to be pretty skeptical.  but one of threads (and i can't remember which one) had a quote that was very interesting to me.  something along the lines of ...

"nintendo is working really hard to gather 3rd party support by putting the hardware in front of them already.  and when tell people you get leaks".

match that with the "where there's smoke there's fire" quote via miyamoto and i really think nintendo is getting close to releasing their hardware.  close meaning like around a year from now.   zelda released both the wii/wii2 doesn't sound so ridiculous anymore.

Miyamoto's comment only means their next system is actually being made instead of just researched. It doesn't mean the system is about to come out. Again, they have to announce it, and then take time to build up hype and marketing. Even the 3DS anniversary is too soon for that.

So you are assuming Nintendo is going to let the Wii drift based on unreasonable assumptions of when the next system will come out.
