Can the Wii keep its winning streak going?

The LA Times is reporting that many seem to have doubts about the staying power of the Wii as their latest article suggests Nintendo's newest console could be dropped by casual gamers in the long run. Some analysts, including Van Baker, a consumer technologies analyst with Gartner Inc., are thinking that the nature of going after casual gamers means they could leave you just as easily as they love you. "Its appeal is primarily to casual gamers, and there's a serious question about how long casual gamers will stay engaged with the platform," he says, adding "It wouldn't be surprising to see them lose interest after a relatively short amount of time."

But after a little over 5 months of being on the market, Nintendo is consistently doing well and the Wii console is still being snatched up as soon as it finds itself on a retail shelf in some areas. No one can predict the future, but we feel this trend will only continue, especially with big titles like Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Strikers: Charged and Pokemon Battle Revolution coming this year. We're not worried.

What do you guys think?
