Forums - Sales - When will the nintendo era end?

Blubeard on 21 July 2009

Well judging by my joke thread, the hardcore gamers have already lost.

But I do wonder just how much longer it will take before those soccer moms get curious and try a match of halo?



My name is blubeard because rosie has a blue beard. Just not on her chest.

the Wii era will end when the PS3 hits that magic 299.00 number this holiday, and the PS3 will out sell the Wii every month from there on, guaranteed!

It will end when Patcher predicts sucess for Nintendo.



I LOVE ICELAND!

It won't

Depends what Nintendo does next gen. I can't imagine a Wii HD selling as much as Wii did, I don't think casuals would justify the expense.

I wonder if nintendo will even make a new console, they will probably just keep the wii on the market.

It would be nice to see an improved wii that had motionplus built into the controllers.

Who knows?

If it follows historical trends Nintendo will own this and next gen. (Atari 2600/(5200?), NES, SNES, PS, PS2, Wii, WiiHD?)

Those are not trends, but mere coincidences.

this generation: 2011 imo

Nintendomination: impossible to know, i would say the generation after next is the next time they will face a serious threat though, there rep from this gen will carry them through the next i would think, but the industry changes so much, for all we know, the next gen could be won by any of the companies or even a new one.

Well the winner stays generally on top for two cycles so i say in around 2015 nintendo will not be on top anymore.
