This thread is just.... stupid.  Wii is still going strong and the new red Wii bundle will jump start some sales. Also, "sports champions" showed up in the charts for all of 2 weeks while Wii Sports Resort is still enjoying 100-200K each week and will continue to do so for a long time.


Of course, WSR comes packed with every Wii in the West, where it gets 95% of its sales from.


But before that, it still had legs, unlike Sports Champions.


He specifically talked about recent and future sales.


Well even then, it shows that Move is not a threat to the Wii, while that system is still selling well, even in a slump.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I've moved to thinking of a 2012 Wii successor, just because of the 3DS setup.

3DS: March 2011
Vitality Sensor: Summer 2011
Skyward Sword/DQX(Japan): Holiday 2011
N6: March 2012



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Lets just say it:

The Wii has come and almost gone. Despite reasonable sales comparing to the HD twins, Wii sales are trending downwards to epic low levels compared to what the console performed in the past.

Nintendo own software is lackluster to what they gave us in the past.

The console, which is basically a Gamecube on steroids with motion control tacked in, surpassed Nintendo and everyone expectations, hence the shortages for 2 years after release.

Zelda Skyward Sword will be the last hit on the system.

2011 will be all about 3DS, and 2012 will be the year the next Nintendo console arrives.

The Wii will be left with minor Nintendo projects till 2012 and for 3rd parties. Nintendo already had much more revenue from it than they were expecting. Their money is now going for 3DS and Wii 2 R&D.

And what was the point you trying to make! No one expected the Wii to go longer than 5 to 6 years. Time to move on to bigger and hopefully better things.



 

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!

The problem with Wii 2 coming out in 2011 is, how many teams would be ready to make good launch titles? They already have their hands full with the 3DS, and they're still getting some Wii games out.

Well, looking at Nintendo's Wii lineup, the only internally made games still coming are Zelda SS (EAD3) and Rhythm Heaven (SPD1).  And even looking at 3DS (and DS still), there's several Nintendo teams entirely unaccounted for (EAD4, EAD Tokyo, SDP1, SSD, Monolith, NdCube), and looking at what's there it's likely that some other teams have divisions free still (IntSys, HAL, NST, Genius Sonority).  There's also the multitude of outside devs Nintendo has close contractual partnerships with (Treasure, Team Ninja, Camelot, Skip, Noise, Next Level, NowPro, Monster Games, Headstrong Games, Good Feel, Arika, Sandlot, AQi, etc, etc), and if Wii 2 is "PS3-plus" spec, it can probably expect a mountain of "best version" catalogue ports day one from 3rd party publishers (RE5, SSF4, MW1&2, etc).  There wouldn't exactly be a lack of potential software for a 2011 Wii 2... hell some HD games we know about now (Ninokuni, Ninja Gaiden 3, MGS Rising, etc) could make for attractive Wii 2 launches if Nintendo plays their cards right.

I'd say...

3DS: February 2011 (JP) March 2011 (NA/EU)

VS: Integrated into N6

Pikmin 3: moved to Wii 2, near launch

Zelda SS: summer 2011 (WW)

DQX: fall/holiday 2011 (JP) 2012 and published by Nintendo (NA/EU)

N6: holiday 2011 (JP) spring 2012 (NA/EU)

I can't see Nintendo launching a home console outside of Christmas in the West.

From what U are saying friend then U expect WII to vanish within the next Two years . I agree on one thing Nintendo almost pushed this console single handedly , and I didn't see as many as third party big titles produced for the system to carry to the next gen console , maybe only Dragon quest x & Monster hunter 3 if next DQ & MH will be nintendo exclusive on thier next gen Console 

But good software from nintendo are awsome . Just look who is the best selling software Co from this generation , Look at all the good titles produced by Nintendo for Wii this gen Kirby & DK-Kong country are the latest to add on a big software back up buy nintendo , Just watch closley as the coming next weeks may see that Wii already pass 80 M world wide this year & in 2011 it will be close or will pass 100 M

It will take much more from Nintendo if they are to get 3RD party no their next-Gen console & I think they will have to Join the war going on between PS3 & 360 for that so wait & see

SMG & SMG2 best games of this generation , Zelda , Kirby & Don-Key Kong country are just as great Metroid is wonderful
