Irrelevant, DS sells on a per person basis not households.
I wouldn't mind if Nintendo did revisions of the Wii every so often instead of releasing a Wii 2, or Wii 3 or whatever. They can do this apple style too.
Rev 1: Wii with DVD playback, optical out and 2GB internal storage
Rev 2: Wii with 8GB of space, Wireless N, Media Center Channel
Rev 3: Wii with built-in 720P scaller, 20GB of space, HDMI
Current Wii owners would always be able to play future wii games
The GCN got some revisions too if you count the Panasonic Q and the Q DVR. Makes you wonder about a Wii DVR or if Nintendo might consider hardware licensing...could be very lucrative.
If they do revisions, an important thing to consider would be the transferring of data from one Wii to another...SD would thus, have to be opened up. WiFi/USB transfer is doable too, but SD would be most conveiniant. Openning up SD would have to be done in a "check in, check out" method to prevent copying...in other words, a strait transfer.
Wii DVD is on the horizon and would require optical out to fit with premium DVD players...it should come sooner so as to be more of a relevant revision. Adding things like a 720p scaler or more flash memory is certainly doable (there's space on the Wii's motherboard without any changes to the casing needed), but should they be in a 2ND or 3RD revision, or just in the WiiDVD revision? To me Wii DVD should have full-out DVD playback with the Wiimote to navigate, DVD-ROM features, 720p scaler (wouldn't do much since most HDTV's have them already, but could make 480p look better on higher-res TV's and maybe some future Wii games could have "N64 expansion pack" like results?), optical audio out, come packed in with component cables and an 8GB SD card...then you have a nice package and Nintendo could easily angle it as more "media friendly" by openning up a media channel or better SD support...all for cheaper still than X360 or PS3.
Of all the system's Nintendo has created they've always had an EXP port...the Wii would've made the most sense to add such for expansion, but there is none...so odd.
Like in Zelda:TP you had to "slice" the controller everytime you wanted to hit etc. Maybe just a small movment is required. But i have hardly tried Wii so i cant say much about how it is to play.
