The Wii Lifespan

How long do you want the wii to last? I know the tendency is to want for the longest possible time like say 10 yrs like the PS3 campaign, but think about it, 8 years from now who knows what will be available as far as technolgy, not just graphics but control schemes etc.

After 8 years and realising you have 2 more years with the wii while everyone is playing an un-godly realistic xbox 720, you will have to admit, you'll be jealous to some degree. Long lifespan isn't always the answer, not to say 5-7 years isn't a long life span in itself, but change is good, and $270 for 5 years is $54 or the price of a game a year for the entertainment of a console.

Thoughts?

I think Nintendo will stick with 5-year plan. By then, both Sony and Microsoft will have copied Nintendo's motion sensing technology and surpassed it. The Wii won't be able to compete at that stage.Rocky32189

Graphics would be nice.. Hopefully an updated internet community on par with x-box live.

if nintendo gets bought by sony then im not gonna buy any more games period even if they are great

and i hate xbox if they do fuse ill stop buying games and i hope they dont fuse then ill still buy games

Wii2 would challenge on graphics against ps4 but not xbox 720 and apple starts in the gaming buisness then ps4 and xbox 720 would be still on shelves but the nintendo will still be bought but not as much as the I gamer

the I gamer plays all systems and games except segas and nintendos for the same price as the wii2

if nintendo gets bought by sony then im not gonna buy any more games period even if they are great

and i hate xbox if they do fuse ill stop buying games and i hope they dont fuse then ill still buy games

why would Sony buy Nintendo?

you're off your rocker son.

well i suspect that the wiis successor will be on the market around 2011-2012.

however if demand for wiis and wii games remain high then i doubt ninty would just drop it. id imagine that they would continue to support it as long as there was enough demand.

I think games will still be made for it long after its become opsolite like the ps2 but the system is going to get hit hard buy Sony and Microsoft as soon as Mircosoft got in with consoles it shifted gaming from a casual area now its becoming very cutthrout you could see it at last years E3 and nintendo doesnt have the expernice outside of gaming that Sony and and Microsoft do and now that nintendo the leader from no where all attacts will be directed at snuffing out nintendo.webbut

that has nothing to do with purchasing Nintendo.

but then i'm not even sure if you're replying to my post because your posts don't make any sense.

yea nintendo ussualy systems ussually have a lifespan of 5 years. They will probably make something that goes onto your body like virtual reality instead of holding a remote.

5-8 years. If you think anyone will care for graphics just have a look at the PS2 fanbase who didn't all of a sudden get a PS3.

Plus Wii graphics will get better. And if they remain as good as galaxy, I will be content for the next 5-8 years.
