Well let's look at thte facts of the wii and what a new one could offer:
The wii is technically very dated. The games are graphically dated and AI is not going to be impressive compared to the rest of the market.
The pad response time is about 180ms meaning the owners are not concerned about a responsive pad, nor is it 1:1 without motion +.

What could a new console offer that could entice people who clearly are not bothered about graphics or tech as they have the wii to begin with?

If they wanted cheap gaming they'd have chosen the xbox. If they wanted hardcore games, xbox or PS3. If they wanted state of the art graphics/bluray they'd have gone for the PS3.

So again, what could a new console possibly offer to these people who dont care about graphics, tech or media?

you mean besides better graphics and other power based improvements that could easaly put it above PS360 and if Sony and Microsoft wait longer to launch their next gen multi platform titles that look better than on the competition bringing core gamers etc, 1:1 controls with sub 100ms from launch, nintendo brand recognition, marketing and Games, better online capabilities and whatever new thing Nintendo adds? what more do you want do you think that nintendo would be averse to aiming to bring morecore gamers abord and expanding their market even more? I mean who knows what new innovation Nintendo could bring to their next console and from what I have seen they don't even realy need whatever it will be.

 

Thing is you just ignored my points, so I'll repeat myself;

If wii owners cared about graphics, they wouldn't own a wii as it is by far the worst of the 3 consoles for graphics. If they cared about responsive controls, they wouldn't have bothered with the wiimote and would be gaming on a 360 or PS3. The ones that care about 1:1 control own motion plus. 

What you can derive from wii owners are that they don't care about graphics, AI etc and generally the things improved by next gen consoles. Unless Nintendo go down the route of making something radically different, the wii owning market has shown itself not to be core gamers, meaning that you cant expect to treat them as such e.g. pretty graphics sells games, more power sells consoles etc.

you seem to forget the most important part: software. software makes the world go around, it's the most important part. the spec's don't mean **** if you don't have the software to back it up. the wii obviousely has software you cannot get anywhere else. even when this natal/move come out, they will still already have a 4 year head start on the competition in motion games.

 

also, we owners have different values (read malstrom's stuff, you will see the light). they don't care about graphics or super responsive controls, they care about assesability, arcade-like easy to learn but hard to master gameplay, and just generally games that are fun.
