EA Games label head Frank Gibeau has pointed out that Nintendo must surely be working on updating the Wii in the near term - otherwise it's turning into a 'legacy' device akin to the PS2.
"When you look at Nintendo, for a while there, it was all about the Wii being the biggest entertainment platform ever and capturing the mass market, and it faded away. Now, they’re coming back with a second act. I think they know that. They’re very self-aware as an organization and a very powerful brand."
He continued that Nintendo, "understand the dynamics and the fact that HD consoles is a booming part of business right now. Legacy platforms like PS2 and the Wii have dropped off significantly. They’re not stupid. They’re going to figure something out. They’re going to come back at it."
