kars said: They will crash it, simply because the Wii can't really display HD Graphics and SD Displays are currently dying out. While you are correct that the gameplay is more important than the graphics especially in games that are targeted at groups of gamers, that interact through the console with each other this is not quite as simple in single user games. The Wii right now sells because it is something new for an acceptable price. Its competitors are currently out of this price range, but their prices will decrease. The production costs for the Wii will decrease too but unfortunatly at a much slower pace. And when the Xbox 360 only costs 20 to 30 bucks more it will be a no brainer what you buy. Currently the expensive alternatives are not worth their price but in the long run the Wii must use to something like the Xbox 360 that is totally designed for low production costs.

Well, what happens if the Wii has twice as many games developed for it as the XBox 360 or PS3? Will it be a no-brainer to spend $50 more when they game you want isn't available for the PS3 or XBox 360? The fact is that if the Wii gets to a point where it dominates in terms of third party support the 360 and PS3 don't stand a chance ... You need strong sales today in order to have strong sales tomorow
