What would a "next gen wii" look like?

I would like to say something to all you Nintendo fans that are thinking the next wii will have more power then 360/ps3 have are very misinformed. The current wii is still not as powerful as the oringinal xbox in serveral locations as shaders and lighting. The next wii may come close to this gens consoles but it will not pass them in overall technology.

What exactly is it that makes you think Nintendo's next console can't possibly be as powerful as the Xbox 360 and PS3? The Wii being only a bit more powerful than the last gen consoles is a concious decision, not a result of Nintendo being unable to make powerful hardware. You do realise the GC was much more powerful than the PS2 and the N64 was the most powerful machine of its generation, right?

They'll probably stay smart and avoid making an utterly unaffordable machine next gen either, but building a console slightly above the power of the current HD consoles won't be all that expensive in 2011, or whenever the next Nintendo platform comes out.
