   This is absolute nonsense. There will most definitely not be a new Wii in 2010. It has been a sellout for 2 Christmas holidays straight, and Nintendo can’t even keep up with demand for the Wii in early 2008, almost a year and a half after its launch. The Wii’s life cycle will more likely be like that of the Playstation 2, which is still going strong after 7 years! Incidentally, 7 years was the amount of time between the release of the NES and the Super NES.

   Look for Wii 2 in November 2013.

   What statistics is this anylisis based on, this is more of a theory then a hypothosis…Two years from now the world should catch on that the PC is the maker of all the video games and as such should stay on the PC…

   I’d say the Wii & 360 are out classed in hardware performance by the PS3, they have to bring out new units to keep up with Sony and the march of computer performance increases.

   Consols by their computer nature need to be replaced every few years to keep up with the technology advances.

   My guess is the next gen won’t use discs either.

   I wrote about this against a Wired article nearly a year ago.

   Actually gamers, its called business and you are consumers. So lets be clear.

   1) N, S and M made a console and one made money, the others a loss.

   2) Money is required for development

   3) To own the market is to drive the market (ipod ?!?)

   4) Life cycle is not about your games, its about owning the market

   5) M and S will just start making money to pay for new development as N rolls out new console, flooding market, meaning… well work it out.

   So, Nintendo, who make money and therefore have the money to develop new equipment, will. By ending the pretend ‘lifecycle’ of consoles, they will control the market. It also controls the media, which tells you what you want but only wants to tell you what’s new.

   Of course, they already know three handy things.

   1) How to make money from day 1 while being cheaper
   2) How to make 100% backward compatible consoles
   3) (Finally) How to make it an easy transition for developers to code

   Welcome to where consoles are like ipods. A new one every year, better and better but it plays everything you already own.

   The old model, 7 year cycles is because each console generation required complete relearning by coders etc. Stupid. Like 25 year backward thinking. Alas, like Sony is still thinking. PS1, 2 and 3.

   M is more able to think this way. Sony, truth is, they are babes in the wood (in console and computer land).

   The final step will be device independent graphics, whereby, using formulas and not pixels, the old game will play better on the new console and the new game will play visually simpler on the old console. Then it won’t matter if you still have Wii, all the new games will run on your console too.

   I am a student at a high school in Indiana, I write for our large school newspaper. We write for over 4,000 viewers. I was thinking about writing a story about this article. If anyone could give me contact numbers for Microsoft or Nintendo so I can figure out what exactly is the deal with this. Also, Is that picture above an actual gaming console that the public has? I’m pretty sure it isn’t but you never know… If not can someone give me more information on that console above?

   Thanks!

   Why would anyone buy yet another ridiculously expensive console. The generation of consoles (PS3, Wii, XBOX360) has been a complete flop. The only reason why people even bought a Wii is because it was cheaper than the other ones. Most Wii’s are sitting on peoples shelves collecting dust.

   Why are people still wasting their money on this crap.

   Franco are you NUTS? how can you say spending money in a console its worthless, do you know that the videogames business has gone WAY stronger than then Movies business? And for your records, i didnt buy my Wii because it was cheaper than the other consoles, i bought it because Wii is the best video game console ever.
   1. Gives you a new whole way to play games.
   2. Lets you play GC games not like those Sony asses where PS3 wont let you play PS2 games UNLESS you buy the 1 with 80 Gigas (hard disk).
   3. On Xbox 360 you have to pay for online access i mean what the hell.
   Sony and Microsoft are always like money and money and money yet nintendo works HARD to give cust a good deal with amazing games. You should reconsider what you just said bout Wii.

   James, just to let you know PlayStation are losing money on every ps3 the sell.

   Nintendo is personally my favorite 1st party company, because they know how to do things right. MIcrosoft and Sony are good too, but red ring of death, expensive, hard to develop for (PS3). I own a 360 and not a wii but i want a wii (I did own one before but it got stolen), besides new zelda should be awesome

10. graeme on February 6th, 2009 11:05 am

    I agree with you, but there wasn’t any new ones in 2008. So there must be new ones in 2009.Just in case chek in 2009.

    Honestly,the Xbox 360 and the PS3 cant get that much better the way there going,
    but the Wii has opened things up for Nintendo alot with the motion and movement, so watch for possible Nintendo consoles. And Rob,although the Playstation 2 has been around a long time, when the PS3 finally came out,the Wii and Xbox 360 had already been around for a while and a lot of people already had them and they didnt want some overpriced new console,and thats why hardly anyone buys the PS3 now.Nintendo knows that and does not want to be beaten in the 8th gen.JUST CUZ SOMETHING IS GOOD NOW, DOESNT MEAN ITS GONNA BE GOOD LATER.
