I'll give a serious answer when I see a serious effort put in by Nintendo to move upstream.
I love Nintendo. I have owned every Nintendo console ever made, aside from the Virtual boy. I've owned every peripheral, every Mario, Metroid, basically every first party nintendo game. I would really love for Nintendo to come out next gen with an HD console and up the storage capacity and give me games with the length and content and maturity I want, no, need. It makes me giddy to think about it. Nintendo could totally destroy everyone next gen if they did it. But if they did they would not make nearly as much money, and for that reason they won't. This is no disrespect, this is just how it works.
For now, let's wait and see how well Motion+ games fare, and see how well "hardcore" games increase in sales. Until then, neither side can prove their case. You say it'll work, I say it won't. We can make a bet or leave it at that.
