A huge part of the Nintendo audience this gen was the casual new to gaming.

And it's going to be hard to make them buy a new console every 4 years so whatever Nintendo does it's going to be very hard to tap the same audience than they hit this gen...

Good point right there.

Maybe, but...it aint the 70s anymore.

We live in a world where (we're fooled into thinking) every product we buy is obselete 6 months later and needs to be replaced by a newer version...

in comparison, 4 years is a pretty long time.

Yes, but I know almost 10 people who bought a Wii and hasn't used it in the last YEAR. That's something that takes more than four years to forget.
