No they should wait 6+ years.

if they do release a wii 2 before the wii is done selling, they won't want to kill the wii yet (it'll be just like with sony and the ps2: they will still be supporting it at least 2-3 years after the wii2 comes out)

so i'd imagine they aren't in a rush. it'll be many years before the wii stops selling.

I suspect they will follow the GameBoy/DS model release a Wii 1.5. Essentially a revised Wii with either a packing in MotionPlus or "all in one" controller, 780p output, improved storage, and a credit card reader*. While the console might feature slight technical improvements, it will remain completely, or almost completely, compatable with the Wii 1.0.

^just some potential life extending holiday season games. Wii 2 in 2015-20 :)

Launching first doesn't seem to have helped the 360 in the end. Why would it help the Wii's successor?

I think it did. They've maintained their lead, I think mostly thanks to that. It gave them an advantage with third party support and a good library ahead of the others. I don't think rrod had as big an effect sales wise as that.

There was no strategy that would have helped them against the Wii that they could have foreseen.

Nintendo shouldn't launch Wii 2 until the Wii stops dominating console sales. Milk it for all it's worth.

I cant recall a time when Nintendo was the first one to launch a home console in any generation after the SNES
