For those of you who can not quite afford a Wii U, you do not have to worry.  Reggie Fil-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America,  has been quoted recently saying that even though Nintendo is releasing the Wii U very soon, they are not yet ready to give up on the Wii.  This is what Reggie had to say about the Wii.

“We will continue to sell the Wii. As we sit here today, in the US the Wii has sold about 40 million units. We believe that there continues to be an opportunity with Wii. Yes, these are late, late adopters. And yes, price points are important. But we do believe there’s still opportunity for the Wii, and we will continue to sell Wii side-by-side for some period of time.”
