Nintendo realised, with their gamecube.. that if your system wasnt different enough.. it will get shot down to oblivion.. case in point gamecube.. which was more powerful than the PS2, graphically- failed to get on top- simply coz it had nothing extra to offer.
I think the current wii hardware is, well.. pathetic.. they could have atleast aimed for a 720P console. It would have made the wii look so much better on HD monitors.
Overall I see the wii limiting designers ability to have huge open worlds, AI or physics in game- motion control is gr8 tech but if it is limited to stupid swinging and bowling movements than we are not progressing, we are regressing. Maybe the wii2 will rectify this maybe the 3d cam on the 360 will.. but for now.. 50 million of us are playing hardware designed nearly a decade ago- and paying $250 for it.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
