Microsoft have beaten Nintendo before, and it looks like they will beat Sony this time around too.
Nintendo are beating Sony and Microsoft at the minute
Sony have beaten Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft.
They all have the power to beat one another.
So this could be the situation...
Sony bring out an affordable gaming system. They don't repeat the same mistake.
Microsoft test their console to make sure another case of RROD isn't present.
Nintendo ...
You could say Nintendo are in the best position, and yes they will end up winning this gen with tens of millions ahead of the nearest rival. What incentive will there be to upgrade to Wii 2?
I'm sure Nintendo can come up with some new innovation but it will need to be more than just Wii HD. The *stereotyped* demographic of the Wii is women and children, now I'm sure a lot of guys own the Wii too but it MUST be said it appeals mostly to casual gaming. Nothing wrong with that I just cant see my sister (when she finally finds a Wii) bothering to upgrade just to get better graphics.
I think if the PS3 was cheaper from launch it would have obliterated the 360 from the get go. Because Sony fucked up, not only will they lose this gen to Microsoft but they have made next gen an even playing field.
If the next Nintendo system offers the same innovation the Wii has offered gamers I expect it to win. BUT if it is just Wii HD and some minor updates I can't see people abandoning their Wii so quickly. Microsoft and Sony will be more fierce next time around.
Just my thoughts, don't take it as gospel, we all have our own ideas/thoughts on the matter.
