Think the next Wii will sell as well?

[ilovetogame]

it'll be very tough for nintendo's next system to sell better than the fastest selling system ever. now they could come out of left field again with some crazy new innovation again that brings in new gamers and all this gen's new gamers just like the wii. but i mostly just see some big upgrades for the next system. i think the key is the software. wii sports sold the wii to a new market and then nintendo built off that momentum and reputation. they need at least a couple games at launch that really capture the attention of that market again and they can repeat the success.

along with some landmark software at launch like wii sports, here's what i think they need to do with the hw to maintain the wii's success:

HD graphics and ps360 level graphics (some people say casuals aren't interested in this but in like 4 years that technology will be cheap so it would be insane for nintendo to not go to hd, sticking with sd this gen was fine, but obviously next gen wii will be hd).
The software discs need to be around 10gigs.
Harddrive or flash memory should be 20gigs.
They need to change their online policies so that a real online community can be developed including maybe having owners make an online profile like a facebook type thing but you just list what games you have and it shows your mii or whatever and pictures and maybe your gaming stats downloaded from your games and have whatever else you'd want to have in a gaming profile along with your screenname (not a 12 digit friend code!) and you can add friends, send messages and chat (with wiispeak 2), and look at/add your friend's friends cuz the only thing wii online really needs right now is a way to actually add friends in game and one screenname instead of a different friend code for every game. also have this same social network for the next handheld so the wii2/ds2 gamers can communicate through this.
A camera on the controller to make another photo channel actually worth having.
Backwards compatibility with the wii.
A continuation of the VC and wiiware and be able to download all of your current games from wii to wii2.
And then i imagine another remote/nunchuck combo but this time make them the same with the same functions but make the fit opposite so that one is for the left hand and one is for the right (lefthanded gamers can still play link lefthanded). they should both have motion control one step up from motion+, IR pointers (in fps if dual-wielding you can aim each gun in separate directions!), rumble, camera, upgraded speakers, little bit of memory for mii2's and game save files, and they should each be wireless and not connected unlike the wiimote+nunchuck. basically the ultimate motion controllers.

i think with all those hw upgrades plus universally attractive software like wii sports the next nintendo system could possibly grab back a wii-sized userbase.
