First, I agree with HS. Only the winning systems have long lifespans.

Second, you have it backwards. It's not Nintendo who has to catch up to current standards with their console, it's Sony.

I'm talking hardware specs...the wii is more powerful than the "over-engineered" machine now? You lost me...

No, that's not what I meant.

Graphics have hit the point where they are considered to be good enough, I think we agree on this. Now you think this will help the PS3 to have a long life, because obviously its graphics are good enough if the Wii's graphics are good enough. But this argument counts for both systems, so graphics won't be the reason why they feel outdated.

So something else comes into play: The controller and the user interface. The Wii is ahead of the PS3 in this regards and it will stay that way forever, because peripherals which aren't standard for a console usually fail due to lack of 3rd party support. The market has decided that the Wii is the way to go, so it's Sony who is in need of introducing a new console first, not Nintendo.

And motion controls can't be released for the current ps3 because it can't use two types of controllers like the wii right?
