With the Wii entering it's 5th year, the Wii's successor (which I will call "Wii 2" for now) is coming soon. As such, lets go over some of the facts:
-A Nintendo Console usually lasts 5 years before the successor is released. As shown in this timeline:
-The system was hinted at as early as July 28th. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said:
"We are always preparing for the next hardware. We are under development."
-More recently, Iwata said this:
"We are of course studying and developing the next console to Wii. However, there is a big difference between studying a product and announcing what it is and when we will release it."
Does this mean Wii 2 will be announced at E3 2011 or any time this year? No. Does it mean there will be a successor? Most likely.
Make predictions and discuss the Wii's successor.
