If the Next Nintendo Console is Like the Wii...

If the next console is like the Wii....

1.If the next Nintendo Console is like the Wii: like meaning it does something new and innovative and takes the market by storm - then yes it will sell like hotcakes.

2.If the next Nintendo Console is like the Wii: like meaning SD graphics and the same controls - then no it will not sell that well.

Fortunately for us gamers Nintendo has already said their next console will have HD and it's a pretty safe bet it will have something new and innovative in terms of controls. So I think scenario 1 is more likely and that is a good thing for gamers.

Now to address you - your obviously a upstream market enthusiast in the Video Game market, you only like games that are the biggest, the baddest, have the best graphics, etc. which is great and gamers like you help push the industry along in its already preset ways but you have to accept that you are the minority (and always have been) and you are becoming even more of a minority with the inclusion of new groups of people into the video game market mainly because of Nintendo with the DS and Wii (although Microsoft and Sony are having a go at it as well).

It's fine that you like "blood, guns, and boobs" as you put it and without looking at your profile I'm guessing you around 18-20 years old (male) and are quite competitive (maybe in sports but definitely in video games), this conclusion is backed up by how defensive you got when someone insinuated you were overcompensating for small genitalia. You are part of the group of people that Sony brought into video gaming with the PS1 and Microsoft has tailored mainly to with their consoles (although they have been trying to broaden lately) but the tradtional gamer is the person who saved the Princess in Mario on the NES, who declared their allegience to the SNES or Genisis or marveled at the 3D world of Super Mario 64 or yes killed a hooker to get your money back in GTA:3. A traditional gamers plays games because they are fun - not only because they have childish/"mature" things in them like "blood, guns, and boobs" and despite the vocal nature of your segment of gamers you are outnumbers - by a lot - by people who play games to have fun.
