Anything could happen next generation and it could be a lot different outcome. Noone would ever of predicted Wii would of been as successful as it is today  5 years ago. In  5 years  from now it could be anyone of  Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft with the winning next generation console .

PS2 fans have well spread out their loyalties come 7th generation: wii, X360 or PS3 owners. Wii onwers this generation could well be one of  XBox 3D, PS4 or Wii HD owners.

Loyalty  counts for nothing for the average person when choosing a game console.

First of all you can't say PS2 fans have been very loyal.

With that said, I firmly believe Wii owners will be even less loyal.

Of course, u asked about "fans", fans are more loyal than just "owners".

I'll just say this. There's a portion of Wii owners who still don't know how to use a dual analog controller and never will. So they'll stick to Wii HD (or even just Wii) unless someone offers something comparable and more enticing.

i won't.
i got the wii first this gen, but likely last next.

wow

I doubt it.

Unless the Wii 2 executes a strategy just as nearly perfect as the Wii did.

All depends on what the next gen consoles will be like.

For me, though? It's about a 99% certainty that I'll get Nintendo first next gen, since I've gotten Nintendo first every gen except last one (because GC wasn't out and my bro wanted us to get a PS2). Nintendo are my boys :p

it depends. Who knows how many of these owners will even upgrade. For most of them unless the Wii HD or whatever has some new compelling way to play a game then i cant see most of them upgrading at all. Most of them dont care about the latest and greatest so the wii will last them a LONG time

trick question, the answer is no. They are potentially only aware of one brand in videogames and that is Nintendo. Of course if another competitor releases a console thats more fun than anything Nintendo can do (extremely unlikely) it might have competition for keeping mainstream audiences.

Well actually most PS2 owners stayed PS2 owners and haven't bought a new console. People are still actually choosing to pay for PS2s over any of the newer consoles.

I expect the Wii to go the same way. It can easily put a dent in all 3 consoles next generation, and many people won't upgrade. They've got Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and a handful of other games, the entire Virtual Console to explore, and they're set for life.

But I also agree with Gamerace, and think the new Wii fans might be a little more loyal because they've never used a dual analog controller and don't want to.

So in conclusion, I have no idea.
