^ FYI: They peaked before Move/Kinect were released.

Check out the number of Wii sold every year, they peaked in 2008/2009 and fell 20% then 25% each financial year since then. Based on that short trend, had it accellerated due to Move/Kinect it would have meant they lost only 1M Wii sales to other consoles which isn't a substantial quantity.

One thing is for certain...  very interesting times are coming and we'll get to have a brighter idea of what's to come after E3.

Sony and MS are just going to find it harder to hold out until 2014 or 2015 for their new platforms

I can see how you think they "punked" Sony, but I'm not entirely sure of these touch features so I'm not sure about MS.

Your point is interesting, though. If Wii2 is essentially a PS3/360 Plus, then the HD consoles have nothing other than software to sell on, which has never been an advantage for them.

You could've summarized your first two paragraphs of your explanation with this:

Backwards. Compatibility.

I wasn't quite sure of what you were saying at first but having gone through it it was a good read and some fair points to boot as well.

Lol, done.

Opinions and assumptions are nice.

It would be impossible to have a fully functioning human brain without at least having one opinion and one assumption.
