The Wii HAD to take the bullet, for all our sakes.

Yeah, but it keeps gaming tethered to old technology. TV and all other electronic media is heading into the land of better and more complex pictures what happens when the gulf between where other electronic media that is hd like films, tv programming, etc. grows even more beyond what is capable with gaming machines like Wii. Sompe people say Wii doesn't work that well with the hd tvs they already have.

First of all, for it's time the wii was pretty advanced when it first came out. It's not exactly "old technology," just not the technology that you're considering.

 

Secondly, gaming isn't a technology business, it's an entertainment business and the Wii is certainly doing a good job of entertaining people.

Actually it's both, which is why graphics in general improve over time, and why over time console hardware gets replaced, otherwise if what you say is true, then we would probably be stuck in PS1 times, since those games still provided us with entertainment, but that's clearly not the case, which is why I say it's both.
