I still think the only reason people think Nintendo is going to launch a new system next year is because they've generally gone with a five-year market life for consoles (NES went for seven years in Japan).

Certainly not the whole of it. Wii is still selling well today, but apparently, outside of December 2009, sales have dropped from previous years. Software wise, this is probably the Wii's strongest year, but most people who want Galaxy 2, Other M and Zelda already have a Wii. Nintendo isn't getting much help from 3rd parties and 2011 is looking pretty empty. The Wii platform is starting to show its limitations (not just graphically). Motion Plus can only do so much to extend the system's worth. Most 3rd parties aren't biting. Nintendo has always marched to its own beat which is great and all, but they can try to PR spin it all they want, they want 3rd parties on board because then, they'd be making even more money. I think they're still trying to figure out a way to keep core and casual players happy. It's not going to happen on the Wii. 2011 just seems like a perfectly reasonable time to launch new hardware. I can't imagine Nintendo has a bigger game in the pipeline than Zelda.

I say no way it is released in 2011. I thought no before the 3ds and now it pretty much confirmed it for me.

Handhelds are basically eating the consoles alive in Japan, this is not the same as the gba and gc. Releasing them both would put them into way too much direct competition. Plus we still have DQ coming out in Japan at least the following year, that makes it a huge software year already.

We still have no mention of DQX and I figure E3 or TGS this year would be a good time to at the very least reveal the game.

I really think this upcoming winter (Nov. '10 - March '11) will be the test that decides if Wii2 get the pre-planned E3 2011 reveal and Holiday 2011 release or not.
-If sales stay up there and 3rd parties start showing some of the stuff they've been working on by the end of this year, and it looks promising, then maybe Wii will be stretched out till 2012.
-If MS & Sony have nothing of worth rumored to be coming up by E3 2011, (I'm sure MS will want to push Xbox720 if Natal fails, Move succeeds and/or 3D on HDTV picks up) since neither of then can seem to plug the leaks, then maybe Nintendo will risk not getting a jump on the competition and string the Wii out till 2012.
-If Vitality Sensor catches on like WiiFit and Nintendo has one more crazy idea they wanna try out before finalizing the next system, then maybe Wii gets a season pass good thru 2012.

Otherwise I think Nintendo will continue to follow their nose and pursue new things that can't be done on the Wii since it's their ideas for gameplay that push the need for new hardware.

I was thinking about that. It could always get delayed. Imagine Nintendo launching with Dragon Quest X. Megaton.

DQX could be delayed for the WiiHD3D to include Nintendo ON!-helmet and Vitality Power Glove support.

It's Twilight Princess all over again.

I was thinking it get officially revealed for Wii this year, and then later next year after teh reveal of Wii2, it get announced that DQX will have special upgrades 2hen played in the Wii2. I don't think they would want to ignore the ginormous Wii audience, but they could also give incentive to upgrade to the new system (since Nintendo will likely be marketing this outside of Japan)

Not hearing about Dragon Quest doesn't mean anything. Don't forget that Square Enix went silent on Crystal Bearers so long (over a year where they didn't even MENTION the game) that people though it was canceled. Dragon Quest IX went through something similar.

I honestly don't think Wii 2 will come out any earlier than 2013. Nintendo has no reason to, neither the PlayStation 3 nor Xbox 360 are posing any kind of threat to the Wii right now,
