wii can’t constantly be selling tons of systems, what happens when everyone has one? you have to start making great games to support the system, people aren’t going to play wii sports forever… i mean eventually they will get tennis elbow.

Perhaps Wii was a success story but I did not see it lasting forever – I mean, casual gamers aren’t going to fork out 100 dollars a year for casual games. If Nintendo could do like Microsoft, while hitting the hardcore market and then focusing on the casual market without selling themselves for sub-par independant games, they could get the best of both worlds. The thing is, in order to get the hardcore market, they have to step up the technology with their consoles before developers like Infinity Ward and Rockstar port their games (and a decent quality) for Nintendo consoles.

Well with the way it is selling it’s no wonder. It has to reach a saturation point soon.

I agree guys. Maybe they’ll realize they don’t need 532 gb hard drives in each console, too.

Exactly Chris, as proven the system has been doing a lot better with every price cut and once it eventually reaches $250 to $200 they will fly of the shelves.

Hopefully Sony will get their heads on straight and see this as an opportunity to cut the cost of the PS3. It could really help them with their install base.
