How can you make the Wii slimmer? Its already much smaller than the PS3 slim and 360 S. I don't think there will be any kind of redesign for the Wii at all.

*raises hand*

In fact my PS2 could sue me for abuse.

I actually dropped it on the ground 3 times. The PS logo thing in front of where you put the game actually fell off.

Damn controller wires that kept getting tangled up. I would pull it strongly sometimes and my PS2 payed the price.

But it survived and it still works. Though I dont use it anymore.

PS2 was much bigger than Wii, Wii is barely larger than two DVD cases and is extremely quiet and reliable. It wouldn't benefit from a redesign in the way others do.

Because they don't. This is a fact. Sony have a marketing and distribution presence in far more markets than Nintendo does because of their various other hardware products they sell around the world.

Nintendo could establish themselves in other markets, but they have been slow to do so with Korea being the only real move they've done this gen.

If wii tops 100M before November 2012 then it will be still tracking above PS2, since PS2 topepd 100M after 6 years.

Wii only had 1 big game in 2010(Super Mario Galaxy 2) and it still sells about 140-150K a week. When games come out later this Holiday the Wii will get a major boost like always because the Holidays are always big for the Wii and plus games will come out again. What other Home console besides for the Wii can sell about 150K weekly with almost no support for about 10 Months(N.S.M.B.W came out 10 months ago)(S.M.G.2 and maybe Metroid Other M were the only games that could have helped sell consoles) The following games should have at least a small effect on Wii sales: Wii Party__Kirby's Epic Yarn__Donkey Kong Country Returns__Just Dance 2__Golden Eye 007...Also almost half of the P.S.2 sales were when it was $150 or cheaper and when Wii gets to that price(could be this Holiday) Wii sales should explode.

What do you mean by why?

It's not hypothesis it's fact.

Nintendo completly ignores emerging markets.

In Poland which have potential to sell 500k PS2 consoles (and which still sell to this day and is one of more popular gifts for children) Nintendo doesn't even have a single guy responsible for promoting their machines.

Their idea of "marketing" in 2008 was sending google autotranslated press notes to gaming portals but even that stopped as people were making fun of them (no suprises here for anyone who ever used auto translator knows the end "quality").

Also their price is emerginging markets is far from competitive. Why would average consumer bother with 800-900 pln Wii when he can get well known Playstation 2 for 400 with cheap games and even special Poland oriented versions of Singstar or PS3 for 1100-1400 which comes with all those fully translated PS3 hits (including voice acting done by recognizable actors). 

And then thare's also Microsoft offering another alternative with plenty of presence in media and easily pirated console (which is huge thing in such places)

Add to that demographic which is mainly retired pc gamers or pc gamers looking to get another platform and you have receipt for disaster.

well i was thinking more about when it gets cheaper,like the ps2 now,but you're right if they don't have marketing for nintendo products then there is not much point,i guess

i was thinking that someone would import and sell them like every other business,when its cheaper and nintendo have their next console out,but i guess thats up to nintendo

i just think this generation of consoles have alot more life in them,if the companies want them too,especially with the newer markets all over the world,

poland isn't with the euro either yet,i always forget that, pln = zloty,i googled it o-0

i agree with your all points except marketing.

Also i think theres much more competition this gen. Even though Sony stumbled out of the gate, MSFT picked up the slack. With Move and Kinect coming out i dont think theres as much differentiation, i think the PS2 was sort of the de facto console last gen and it helped long term. For Wii, i think it wont be the de facto console long term based on the competition, imo.
