TheSource - I love your numbers, except I doubt the Wii will be around after 2010.


What would be the reason the Wii won't be around in 2010? The Wii is expected to have a normal 5-6 year lifecycle

 
 

 There is no reason to think that, In fact there are direct quotes from both Reggie and Iwata I believe about the Wii being planned to last 5 years. Although Reggie said 5 to 6. This whole  NewWii crap people are running with is annoying, and it propped up about the time it became apparent Wii was going to steam into 1st place. Its kind of a way to say the Wiis current momentum wont allow it to become the winner because surely the Wii will be prematurely killed off in favor of a more powerful version.

 

There are no quotes and no facts at all to back this idea up. But theres plenty of both to back up that this will NOT happen. Its a fanboys pipe dream, and its dredged up by people who havent a clue about business at all. Everytime I confront them about this "idea" with information directly from Nintendo its ignored also. It then pops up in another thread days later, like this one.
