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.

Well software is only limited by hardware, meaning the wii software is very limited.

Point being, that if wii owners do not care about graphics or responsive controls (180ms takes the piss for unresponsive, really), then what can Nintendo offer as an upgrade? You don't care about graphics so HD and any graphical advancement is pointless. You don't care about an increased response time or 1:1 motion (if you do the latter, you have motion+ ), so how can Nintendo make a better selling console when you actually don't care about hardware?

I'm not debating whether the games are fun or not, but I cannot see how the wii market is sustainable when the owners don't care about the things that are usually improved in the next gen version of consoles.
