Speaking of which... whatever happened to the "Compare systems from launch" charts and all kinds of other stuff like that?

very easy if wanna sell good during X'mas

just drop the price again

i think nintendo can start clearing Wii stock from X'mas

and prepare for it's next console

after all Wii have sell very well enough

NSMBWii sold more systems than the price drop. So DKCR is more likely to sell systems, as the SNES games helped sell that system.

lol. I just have a feeling.

I think Nintendo is going to try hard to get 3rd parties on board for their next system. They know that no 3rd party support is the reason the Wii started slowing down, and since they seem to be focussed on 3rd parties for 3DS, hopefully that means we can see similar things for Wii 2.

ah the marvels of consumerism...i hate my wii yet i want to sell it and get that one as if my play experience will suddenly be better but i cant help it i want that bundle

Wow, that's made no sense whatsoever, Nintendo is less concerned about 5 year plans than sales and profits, the reason other Nintendo consoles died out so fast was because of sales, the NES survived much more than five years, because it sales continued strong.

If Wii has good sales, Nintendo will wait to release its  next console, if sales sag too far then they'll announce the next one

What do you mean that made no sense?  If Nintendo would replace the DS which is the best selling game machine ever, which is still selling more than most of the consoles combined, why would they not replace the Wii which isn't selling nearly as much?  Hell the Wii has been selling less than the PS3 right now everywhere.  What's the flawed logic?  Wouldn't your reasoning mean Nintendo would wait to replace the DS?  I'm not saying they're going to stop production of the Wii, just have its successor in line and ready to be shown. I mean the SNES was out along side the NES .  They probably won't show it this E3 cause Zelda has yet to release but after Zelda's release there's going to be a successor shown.

I think Nintendo will release a second console in 2011 early 2012. The new console will  be a "hardcore only" kind of thing while keeping the Wii on the market for a couple more years. Just like how the PS3 and PS2 were three years ago.

Third parties can continue making shovelware for wii without having to compete with nintendo games because they'll be working on games on the new console with the other second party and more powerful third party developers.

It'll be just like that third wheel they were saying the DS was going to be.

If sales are bad this Christmas season they will probably announce new console at E3 and bring it in Q4 2011 (If they are lucky and doesn't slip into Q1 2012)

If sales are good they will give Wii one more year on the market before annoucing successor.
