Yeah, console revisions do sell a lot, but: can't the wii get one? I don't see what they could do it's already quite small and nice

 

You could argue that new input devices like the balance board and Wii Motion Plus are hardware revisions, since they expand the capability of the original hardware. Adding features through peripherals isn't so different from adding features with a console revision.

He has a point, though. Nintendo could turn the Wii into the next iPod, if they wanted to, just releasing new hardware revisions without ever changing the name. Then where would we be? I ask you!

 

Mmmm, would they really count as a single machine though? i mean would you add wii 2nd generation which supports HD as sales of wii?? GBA doesn't add up to GB sales right? backwards and forwards compatibility must be assured for it to count as the same console, right?

 

That would mean that the DSi doesn't count as a DS because it cannot play Guitar Hero On Tour while the DS Lite can't play a game which uses both touch screens of the DSi. If that's the definition we're using, the Wii will definitely win.

 

Yeah, if we put it like that, I'm having trouble considering DSi the same as a DS, because let's face it,a lot of new games won't be compatible with the old DS, it's just a case of (almost) full backwards compatibility



Listen to the voice of reason, then do as I say.

Nah, the DS has enough in its pocket to hold off the wii, and so will the ps2 i believe

I think both will pass the PS2 for sure. As for the Wii passing the DS, it's possible.




Nintendo still doomed?
