    Maybe 2012 but not 2011

    Don't forget there is always the replacement Xbox "just around the corner" according to analysts but I don't see it yet!

    so...

    by the time nintendo make something other than a gamecube with a wand (which is what wii is) xbox 720 will be out and it will look shite compared to the competition again.

    also sony and M$ are working on their 'girls and old people' control systems so nintendo will soon be left even further behind.

    everyone i know with a wii has it gathering dust now as the controller is just a gimic and the console looks like a ps2 on a bad day - with worse sound!
