Don't be a dick. I never said that, and you know it. The tools of warfare matter less than how they are implemented. At the start of this generation, there was no technology available to Nintendo that was not also available to Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo chose to ignore HD. Sony and Microsoft chose to ignore motion controls. Nintendo's use of motion control, their strategy to build games around it and blow the gaming market wide open, is what MS and Sony are desperate to copy now (and what Sony pitifully tried to copy with its sixaxis controller earlier).

Not sure about you but I would much rather see a console that can deliver top quality graphics in stunning 1080P HD, superb media and online features which can easily add motion controls at a later date, both ps3 and 360 are now doing this,
The Wii's advantage is motion controls, they don't have the graphics power or media/online features to fall back on when all the consoles come out with motion controls, this will be a disaster for the Wii as it's ONLY advantage (motion controls) will no longer matter, the wii has nothing else to offer, the hd consoles will have motion control games that actually look amazing, something never ever possible on the wii, can you imagine how much a game like wii sports would sell on the HD consoles that looked stunning and relistic? millions, this is all it would take for the hd consoles to get into full swing on the motion control front,
Tell me honestly, do you think the Wii would be where it is now without the motion controls? of course not, it would have failed just like the gamecube, the ps3/360 are in a very good place right now, if they pull the motion controls off right the wii will be in a lot of trouble and both hd consoles could easily catch up (maybe even pass) the wii, noone knows how the rest of this generation will pan out, we're only half way through and the wii is already on it's limits whilst also seeing falling sales (still high though but for how long?)......
