| ThatGreekGuy said: New DS will be announced this year, that's what I think, they seem to go with it every 2-3 years. DS (2004) DS Lite (2007) DSi (2009) 3DS (2011) |
The DS ones are just console revisions, like PS2 fat and slim, PS3 fat, slim and super slim, the X360 versions, etc. He is talking about a sucessor, like Wii-Wii U. About the OP, simply no, they won't. They don't replaced Gamecube and that was a worst case scenario.
Even if Wii U fail, it's better to wait and plan the gen after. Releasing consoles earlier to fix problems with you current one is a bad idea. Sega did it and things only got worse. You lose your credibility. Besides that, even if Wii U doesn't succeds, it will still sell a good amount and will be enough for the next 6 years at least.
