| Loud_Hot_White_Box said: 3. I kind of assume since it's SD, that somewhat limits it, in part because Nintendo will probably bring out a 720p-capable successor in a few years. That machine (call it Wii2), also decently low-priced and fully backwards compatible and with a similar control scheme, would cut off Wii sales much more than the expensive PS3 cut off the cheap PS2's sales. It will limit Wii sales on the back end, but don't get me wrong, that's not any kind of failing for Nintendo; it'll be a great business move. Wii plus Wii2 sales over any period will be much higher than Wii sales alone. (assumption here is that the next Nintendo machine comes out well before PS4, and cheaper. Though PS4 will also be cheaper at launch than PS3 because Cell and Blu-Ray will be mature tech.) |
Can you name the generation where Nintendo was first to the market? Can you name the generation where Nintendo wasn't last on the market? They had horrible sales with the Gamecube and still stuck it out till the bitter end. Why on earth do people assume that the extremely successful Wii will follow a different path?
