"facepalm"

    The poker table metaphor does not hold weight. Nintedo doesnt have to go 'all in' to release a next gen console, it is very unlikely that they will release a machine with Pixar quality graphics.  Microsoft and especially Sony, are limited in that if and when they release a new console they need to beef up it's graphics to justify people upgrading, moreso since they've already anounced motin controls for their current systems.  Now if Next gen is going to be an increase in graphics than that means that games will become even more expensive to make and an even bigger risk so yes you would have to go 'all in', unless like Nintendo you have an upgrade that brings graphical quality up to 360/PS3 levels, which becuase of the expanded market largely do to the Blue Ocean strategy, is less risky than now will all but guarantee that even if the Wii 2 doesnt do to well (which is unlikely) it will at worst cause Nintendo to lose most of the Wii money.

and cartriges could very well be the next format for Nintendo games.

Cartriges again..... *faceplam* again?

I really should just ignore post like yours.

Sony and microsoft can just stay with their current consoles if nintendo makes a console just as powerfull.

Microsoft and Sony is already with better techonology than nintendo with natal and ps3 wand in motion technology.

Expanded market? the wii has a market share, the wii 2 market share is 0% as of now. Why would buy a nintendo console if Sony and MS motion tech will be better than the nintendo motion technology and even be more powerfull.

 And the wii2 would be more expensive than the 360/natal and ps3 when the time comes which already will have motion control.

Dude, all the facepalms are directed at you because it makes you sound like your own ideal world without knowing that you are living in an existing world with better innovations than your own.

And Sony and Microsoft DO NOT have better technology with Natal and the Wand. They are trying to play catch-up because Nintendo is, "haha, we told you so!" so that Sony and Microsoft are trying to capture and steal Nintendo's thunder. Obviously from the start, Nintendo had better technology than Microsoft and Sony. How so? Innovation. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are just beefed up consoles with computer parts, while the Wii is centered around an imput device (the Wii-mote) to get the consumer involved in games.

Oh, and if Sony and Microsoft decide to make another console, they too will be at 0% marketshare. The Wii is ONLY a stepping stone for Nintendo's next console. It is the tip of the iceberg for bigger and better things to come. And that part of the iceberg is the next generation. The Wii should be fully compatible with its successor and would fully enhance the Wii games with better graphics and better controls, possibly through firmware.
