To be fair the N64 & Gamecube were pretty much dead saleswise before the succeeding consoles launched, the Wii still has a huge install base and still sells a good number of consoles a month so I still expect the odd minor release from Nintendo, even if they're not going to be anything the so called "core" gamers would want. Unlike Sony's PS3, their next console is actually doing extremely well pre-launch and actually has some good games coming for it, I mean that was why Sony still did the odd game for PS2 (albeit PSP ports) because not many people bought the PS3.Nintendo (and we all know how much I love them), unlike Sony has a VERY bad habit of murdering their last gen console.
