If it will be as the rumors say it might - more powerful than ps3 and 360, where those two ware planning on 8 years life span, so to stay tull around 2014 then N will indeed give them the final slap
N lost loads of money with GC. For them the only way ti survive was to strike to the fairly fresh casual market to stay alive.
Now they have it and i think that N will keep supporting The Wii long after wii 2 lounch because of it's casual values.
I was working at second hand games shop for over 3 years, and I'm telling you that Wii games ware very popular among Moms XD Y they would bother buying new console if Wii is enough for them?
Therefor I do think that if the rumors are true, we can expect massive game developers turn back to nintendo's possibly new platform, delivering games like assassins creed etc., because it will be now possible. At the same time, we can probubly expect most of current aaa games ported with some exclusive content.
But I'm up for that... i just don't like the idea of screen built in to the controller. I play games looking at the screen usualy XD
