simply ludacris to think that a console could live 15 yrs.  Wii isnt even the best looking out there so why would it be a contender when Sony and Microsoft showcase and launch new hardware?  despite its sales figures, wii is the worst of the big 3.   i for one am tired of upgraded staples such as Mario, MK, Mario Golf.  Honestly Wii is staying in Elementary while Sony and Microsoft go to College.   ha.

 

 Wii's offering a lot of different types of gaming experience and this is why it sell so much. Now PS360 doesn't have a lot to offer except shooter games. Are'nt you tired of that? Wii is far of being the worst of the big 3.

Clearly you are not an owner of either.

 

 

 Please don't be blind. Around 3 new releases out of 4 are shooter games on the weekly charts and this is what happens week after week after week....

A correct way of saying it would be that 360 and PS3 owners prefer to buy shooters... both consoles' libraries offer far far more.

 Do you ever heard about supply and demand concept?

Do you ever learn of the "check what games the console offers concept"?

This supply and demand concept can be easily spun in disfavor of the Wii. Just so you know.

 Why Wii's selling so much more than PS360 then? All thoses sales are about gaming experiences. PS360 doesn't offer a lot of different types and their sales shows it while on the other side Wii offers a lot more and well....you know the rest.

If the Wii wasn't so easy to pick and play with your family or whatever, you'd see sales on par with PS3/360, or lower... it's so big because it has new gamers coming for it, a thing nor the PS3 or 360 have. Sure it offers different experiences, but not as much as you think.

Well but you can't associate one type of games with Wii like people are doing with PS360 and shooter games.

You may spot a pattern, the more successful the console the longer Nintendo keeps it in production

The first successful (market leaders) consoles produced

  • nes 1983 to 1995 = 12 YEARS lifespan
  • snes 1990 to 1999 = 9 YEARS lifespan

 

 

The next two console are considered a flop.

  • n64 1996 to 2003 = 7 YEARS lifespan
  • gcube 2001 TO 2007 = 6 YEARS lifespan

So the wii was released in 2006

If it was a flop I would expect it to last between 6 to 7 years, if a success for it to last between 9 to 12 years.

 As the Wii has been the biggest success in Nintendo and console history I would expect it to last something like 12 years

@Jammy dodge

You also have to take into consideration that the Wii has a new demographic , we are in a very different market from 2001 .

The Wii will not have a lifespan of 15 years .

wtf we dont want 10 years of wii sports/fishing/hunting/wrestling/fit/sports/ski/play/baseball/tea drinking/basketball/christmas/easter/carnival

Enough with the casual games another 10 years of wii titled games will be too much for any hardcore gamer

 

 hahaha i love it Wii Tea Drinking!!

 

but on topic theres no way. I see the wii  making a new generation console in 2011. 2 Years in the wii has already used up its good titles. Zelda, Super Mario, Super Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, all been done. What are they going to do for another 13 years based on your theory of a 15 year life span? If they started making new IP's then they'd have a chance. But they need success. No More heroes got a solid 83 rating on metacritic but its only sold just over 1/3 of a million. Wii owners need to start buying 3rd party games.
