Nintendo's Ability to Move On

I would rather buy one console and play a lot of great games on it and have it last a bunch of years. Would you buy a $10,000 car, and four years later buy another one for $10,000, sell the first one for $4,000, buy another car four years later for $10,000, sell the second one for $4,000, etc. I would rather buy one car for $20,000 or $25,000 than buy three cars for $30,000 total. How about a TV? Three black and white ones or a color one? Three color ones or an HD one? ETC.!!!!!!

You're kidding yourself if you think the PS3 and especially the 360 will still be in the game in 2016. Technology is moving way faster than before...it won't be big for 10 years. And if another Wii was made, it wouldn't be for at least a few years...wouldn't you suspect that in a few years, the PS3 might come out with some optimized version? A more compact version with extra features perhaps? I don't think you would complain, you would just say, "Neat! A new, slimmer version!" What's wrong with a new version of the Wii? And we're not talking about buying a car...we're talking about playing videogames...goodness. Sometimes I think you need to check yourself. Besides, I'm fine with the Wii's graphics. PS3's rock, but for the experience I get with my friends, $250 is worth it now, and I'd be willing to pay it again in 3-5 years for more fun.
