I think Nintendo Should give it at least 1 or 2 years using this type of business model. If VGChartz is correct, Wii almost outsold Vita this week (and now Vita is combined to Vita TV). But I think the Wii could stay here for many years, if Nintendo did as Sega, but remaining manufacturing the console itself. For example, here in Brazil, more directed to kids and maybe oldschool gamers, still sells Master System and Mega Drive in significant quantities. Look at this: http://www.walmart.com.br/google?refs=320471&fq=C:401/535/536&PS=20&O=OrderByTopSaleDESC&utm_source=google-pla&adtype=pla&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=320471&utm_campaign=Games---Tec-Toy---Consoles-Master-System In 2012, Master System and Mega Drive sold 150k only in Brazil: http://jogos.uol.com.br/ultimas-noticias/2012/07/30/vinte-anos-depois-master-system-e-mega-drive-vendem-150-mil-unidades-por-ano-no-brasil.htm Now, imagine a Wii with a 10 games in memory for $ 99 or less? Games like Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Wii Party, and go on, I think this way the console could remain relevant for many years and would certainly achieve relative success in developing countries. And it has Mario.... |
The Wii has a bunch of sought after games, the Wii mini, and some great/cheap bundles. It is not that far out that the Wii could do this. The only problem is that it is probably stealing sales from the Wii U. Or would people just go out and buy used one's anyways?
The 3DS/2DS is a beast now in all areas and I think the DS could live side by side with it. I want to call gamestop to make sure it is done. If it was still being shipped anywhere it would be there.
