Far as I can see it, there are two possibility here:

1. The GC will still get a little bit of continued support, much like the PS1 did after the PS2 came out. That worked out great, and if there is backwards capatability, any games that come out for the GC will be playable on the Revolution anyways.

2. Nintendo is lying/exaggerating so that people will continue to buy GCs, instead of getting afraid that the system will go defunct.


Now, Mute... it might take away from Revolution sales of the GC continues ot get a bit of support, though I think that is unlikely. But, even with slightly lowered Revolution sales, Nintendo would acheive higher profits letting the GC gracefully fade then they would if they just suddenly let the console die, like they did with the N64.
