If you do read the reviews of the wii.. the launch ones atleast you will realise that most people complained about poor graphics and everyone liked the motion control but no one thought wii would be the generation leader. again the wii is not more capable than the xbox.. they both are geared for different things.
My gripe with the wii is nintendo wants you to be happy with their console just because they have given you motion control- it doesnt have good online, graphics or sound.
Im sure it makes a lot of casual gamers, senior citizens and nintendo fans happy but as a former GC lover im disappointed.
The wii sells lesser software per console as opposed to the xbox and this despite the fact that xbox users ultimately shell out more money- wireless/live fees/console costs
Wii's also have a slight reputation for not being played much after their novelty wears off.. again im not flaming the wii but these are facts.
M$ is not failing this gen. Its doing alright for itself. m$ hopes to sell 75 million units of the 360 and although i dont know if they will reach that level of success, anything above 50 million would be good.
SONY is desperate to get consumers to spend on blu ray and that is their strategy. The ps3 doesnt work for me at the current price so im not going to bother getting one. if it were similiarly priced to the 360 it would be a no brainer,though
For me the measure of success would be the amount of time people spend playing/using their consoles. A console in the cupboard is pretty much just wasted tech.
And right now the 360 is doing everything that nintendo isnt. Lots of games, great online, continually improving GUI.
back to the original question is the wii HD nintendos biggest chance of success..
No. not just HD wii.. i wanna see a good online backbone and a more involving experience, including wii motion plus.

lol you had to bring “the Wii not more capable than the Xbox” up did you. Well I am not going to say more than what my sig says about you then sorry.
I agree with you the Wii had bad reviews on the grafix part. Sure it does not have the capabilities of a 360 or PS3 but it has good grafix if you are willing to do them. Mario Galaxy, SSBB and others have proven that.
Anyway I do enjoy my Wii games more than those on my 360 because it offers fun ways of playing them. Metroid Prime 3 is enough as the FP controls are something in the right direction for FP/S/A games need. It is so much more accurate and less frustrating which allows you to play faster games.
As for the online, well Nintendo is starting the good stuff like MK Wii and voice with AC they are going in the right direction and with the next Nintendo system they will include all that from the start.
And one more thing Nintendo is one company pumping out games and supporting their own console. You seriously think MS cold do that alone? No sorry they can not. The only company that dos not need 3ed party is Nintendo and that is what is so annoying to so many people.
