Forums - Nintendo - Next gen war: Nintendo could go two in a row. The 2 gen rule

Hmmm... I don't think Wii will last 2 generations (or 10 years)!

And that's because there'll be a X720 PS4 around 2012 I think, so Wii will be lackin in terms of not only graphics. But potentially also motion-sensing technology and the pushing of user-friendly software like the Wii-series.

That's why I don't think it'll be able to do what the PS2 is doing, has done!

Thank you SmokedHostage..

Also I think out of all the predictions that you picked Gearbox (Wii and XBOX) You missed the one that's clearly too high :P

@ Starcraft maniac: I think you may have misinterpreted the thread? We're talking about the successor to the Wii.. Not the Wii lasting 10 years or anything like that

---PREDICTIONS---

Wii - 150 million
Playstation 3 - 75 million
XBOX 360 - 55 million

the xbox wont get that high neither will the wii

At wich point Sony ig going to have that pike??

Good question :P

I don't know why gearbox didn't attack my PS3 prediction of all things as it's clearly too high..

Thee Gameboy Color tend to be counted as the same platform as the Gameboy in terms of ability to play games. Not strictly true, but close. You think the Gameboy sold over 100 million units without the GBC? You would be wrong.

Either way I think it's fair to say.. nintendo OWNS the handheld space



 

@puffy

Heh, that was nice article. Do you plan to email this to Nintendo for their consideration? ^_^



Thank you very much mai :)

No.. Nintendo know what they're doing.. Half the stuff in my post may sound good but Nintendo want to expand the audience so we'll probably see more stuff than that anyway..

I mailed Nintendo once before.. I told them to make the GameCube black or white instead of purple and to allow DVD playback and have a controller with no wires.. That was before the GameCube was released and I was about 10 at the time :P

Just got a reply saying that my interest was appreciated but for legal reason they couldnt take any of my advice on board xD

I think they let me down gently enough hehe but hey I was so happy when i saw the wavebird :P



 

It may seem that pride always comes before a fall for console makers. Nintendo did certain arrogant things with the N64 and caused it to be beaten after the SNES. Sony did arrogant things with the PS3's launch and hype, leading to its fall.

Whatever happens, Nintendo must not be complacent from its assumed safety during the next gen (assuming the N6 takes the lead again, that is).
