Forums - Gaming - Forget the Ps3 10 Year Plan -- NINTY feels the WII CAN LAST LONG Too!!

Squilliam on 30 March 2009

When the PS3 hits $199, it will still struggle against the Wii at $249.



Tease.

lol that's a good one. I guarantee as soon as the PS3 hits $300, wii will struggle with 360 being cheaper and PS3 being only $50 more.

And by the time PS3 hits $200 it will be unstoppable. A $200 PS3 will outsell a $99 wii.

Sarcasm right? Please tell me that's sarcasm.

Wii will extremely be outdated in a few years. Nintendo's next-gen console better be a powerhouse, or I'll stay away from it.

 

 It's weird how the same could be said about the NES into 1990.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Nintendo will keep the Wii on the shelves for as long as they can. If it is still seeing insane sales 2 years from now, they will not kill those sales with a new system. No one would.

expect a new console once sales start seriously dipping either due to age, or the competitors putting a new console on the shelves.

 

Lol you really think Nintendo cares now what the competitors do?

read the whole sentence. Console sales could be reduced by a new competitor product.

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Most previous consoles last for a good 7-8 years.

Nintendo makes like €60 profit for each console sold in Europe. The price of the wii can go ALOT LOWER THEN THE PS3  WILL EVER DREAM OF.

If they make a serious attempt to get into the new market, yes they will care. Until then, no they don't.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

that attitude got SONY where it is now

I doubt NINTY will fall prey to the same arrogance!

Only thing is either Nintendo's next console is completely compatible with the Wii (meaning its games will still play on the Wii at 720x480p) or they run the very real risk of being their own worst competition.

A very sizable chunk of the Wii audience won't bother buying a new console just because it's by Nintendo. Unless there is something very compelling, like a second lighting strike re-imagined simpler, more accurate, more realistic user interface, it won't see the instant runaway success of the Wii.

HD resolutions and integrated motion plus alone won't cut it to the average consumer who doesn't buy every console they can afford to including minor refreshes.

Either they support two consoles simultaneously and watch as the Wii continues to maintain its market share, or they kill the golden goose in the interest of pushing their new platform. I don't see that happening.

$250-299 for the new console vs. $99-149 for the Wii?

Otherwise, the Wii remains Nintendo's sole console along the lines of the original NES in terms of length of time in production with 3rd party support, despite using the most aged hardware standards (support continued to hold up well even after the release of the Genesis and TG16).

About the only thing that could upset this model is a drop in third party support if too many developers attempting to sell dumbed down softs to the Wii audience (unprofitably) go under. This seems unlikely given the current (growing) support for the DS, still home to some of the very best and many of the very worst titles available.
