The Wii is not dead or dying.

Let's be real, the very announcement of a successor console kills lots of the sales.

Even myself, I was a potential Wii customer as I have been on the fence for a long time wether I would get a Wii or not (mostly targeting Zelda) and I've been waiting for a price drop to $149 or something, but now with the new console on the horizon I definitely won't get a Wii.

If you were holding out this long, I don't think you would have been convinced anyway.

But still, the new system still needs to set itself apart from the 360 and PS3, and not just from carrying the Wii games and control over.

So you are claiming that hardcore gamers will not buy any of the systems anymore in this gen, not even as their third console?

All new sales of WiiPS360 come only from casuals or people that are new to gaming?

Okay, my comment came out wrong. I was just noting that the system has been around long enough for something to convince you to buy it already, and that clearly hasn't happened, which makes it very unlikely to happen later. I meant that to be an observation, not a judgment, and sorry for making it seem like the latter.
