While it's generally been the rule that the weaker system "wins" the console wars, it has never been demonstrated more powerfully in the console market than the Wii has this gen. Hence, I think it's pretty much a sure thing that this generation will last longer than most, because we have now broken the unwritten rule that it's enough to simply make last-gen systems faster for future iterations.

 

Let me start by saying I am HUGE NINTENDO fan love mario, zelda, metroid, smash bors brawl.  But I am truly bummed they are going to win this generation.  I am a hardore player and like the WII but its  played 1/10th as much as my 360. 

I would have love to see sony or MS win this generation cause as you mention I want a the most peorful console I can buy and I am worried next gen they wont go for power.

 

That's not something you'll have to worry about - the HD market is roughly equivalent in size to the new market the Wii has tapped so far, so the demand for more powerful systems has been well established.  However, I think we've hit a crossroads in game development, where increasing graphical ability must be weighed against the significant costs involved, rather than pushing graphical capability to its absolute limits wherever possible.
