Handhelds.  But they wont flop.  Read the news once in a while and see what the DS is doing.  Wii is running under the same formula.

and devs might make it work. ;)

DS already proved to be more popular than the PSP so far.  PSP by far better graphics and multimedia but its not selling more than the DS.

the DS has more games...

the console market is far more demanding.... and japan is the only place DS outshines the psp.. so that strategy doesnt seem to work as well in the states and UK...

It doesn't really matter, they're the only ones that actually make profit off of their systems hummer700

No, Sony also made a profit. I'd agree though that Nintendo would still make a profit off their system unless it flops horribly like the Virtual Boy.

It doesn't matter if Nintendo is 3rd. As long as profit comes, they will never leave. Of course, if things as the amount of consoles sold over each next gen keeps going down, it wont be good in the long run.Knight_of_Malta


if Wii looses the console wars again and goes out of bussiness...then Apple will take out their secret weapon: iBox.

Nintendo Wii won't appeal to non-gamers. They will obviously think it's childish and annoying to play.blackredblack
What!? LOL, you got Own3d by your backwards prediction!
Nintendo is heading towards Niche much like that Nokia NGage is. Nokia NGage still have customer as people still buy games for it but it niche when compared to PSP/GBA/DS.After a certain point if the trend continues then it will be moot to mention Nintendo in the same breath as Sony/MSPusherT
LOL, the funny thing is that the Wii is actually making the 360 and the PS3 look more like the niche platforms (for hardcore gamers) while the Wii is for everyone (non-gamers/casuals/hardcore).
There a very real possiblity that Wii can be 3rd place again and lose even more "marketshare" to Sony/MS. Many of the Sheep here seem to be in denial that the "Wii" can flop and Flop hardPusherT
I don't think Nintendo is too worried at the moment.
I say that Nintendo will easily be in dead last again.blackredblack
Good Call, Buddy . . . NOT!
I'm expecting the Wii to do poorly in North America and EuropeZebethOrZebes
Expectations not met!
Good points but I think Nintendo will have a hard time this generations. So many ppl are looking forward to PS3 and the X360 will have many upcoming games that have great sells. Nintendo will probably get neglected more than ever this time around.blackredblack

With the Wii looking to easily, in less than a year, sell over half what the Gamecube sold in its entire lifespan I don't think there's much of any possibility to question whether it will sell better than the Gamecube did.

Edit: Sheesh, what's with the frequent bumping of like 1year+ old topics lately?
