Don’t expect new hardware from Nintendo anytime soon
“I don’t think it’ll be any time soon because even though our install base is, at this point, five million households larger than the PS2 install base was at the same point in its lifecycle, it still has a lot of room to grow. If you think PS2, there’s been about 50 million sold, Wii close to 28 million sold. So that says to me that there’s still a big audience out there that we can access with the Wii That being said, part of Nintendo’s heritage is to always be looking at innovation and to start working on the next hardware as soon as we launch a platform. So we’ll have it ready when we think the time is right.” – Cammie Dunaway
I think it would be a bit odd if Nintendo were to release a Wii successor in the near future. The DS is still going strong after more than five years in the market. It feels like the Wii has been out for awhile, but the console was only released a little more than three years ago.
