The lifespan of the Wii! Obviously Nintendo reckons that it will last until 2012 at least...but I have my reservations. That means they expect it to have a 6 year lifespan at least...I would sit it at 4-5 years in total with development in games slowing down come 2009. |
You are forgetting something. A systems sales not is hardware potential determine its life span. It won't matter how powerful the PS3 is and how weak the Wii is from a horsepower standpoint if the sales trends continue down their current path. The 360 is the only system that can keep the Wii from reaching Nintendo's 35 million unit goal. The 360 will hit a mass market prices point far earlier than the PS3 will.
