"...third-party publishers are aligning more towards the Wii console this year given the large (and rising) installed base and lower development costs for the Wii console. ...we expect third parties to take share from Nintendo." - Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia

That's not necessarily a bad thing. We'd love to see third parties doing better on the Wii, even if it costs Nintendo a bit of space. As long as they're putting out quality content on the Wii, it's fine by me.

Agee goes on to discuss the console cycle, which he believes will last 7-10 years...Wii included. If anything, Agee says we may see a Wii 1.5 somewhere before 2012.

"it is possible Nintendo releases a slightly updated machine without a full upgrade" – a Wii 1.5, if you will."
