PS3 is doing the 10 year plan, and wii isn't going HD any time. Why does MS need to sacrifice 2-3 years of milking the 360 tech with a motion controller when the competition is milking its products.

Besides, natal is the motion controller everyone will focus on. Say what you will but Sonys tech is far too close to the Wii which is out of 3 years now. Maybe MS wants to introduce the gamers to the idea of Natal before the blow our minds with next gen motion controller.

Or maybe MS hopes to sell you a useless eyepet knock off and ruin the xbox brand they established

just because a new console comes out doesnt mean that production immediately stops on the previous console.

and wii will never go hd. it doesnt fucking need to. why does everyone talk about this?

Iwata has already confirmed that the next Nintendo home console will output HD. This is not the same thing as releasing an addon that upscales Wii games to HD resolutions.

 

On topic - they're releasing it then because that's as soon as they can release it and have some games to go with it. Planning probably started the day after GTA4 failed to kill the Wii. Essentially they want to do this to give 1st and 3rd party devs experience with using natal, so that when the 720 has a natal type control system it won't take devs ages to work out how to use it.

I knew this before Iwata even said anything. it is common sense. i wasn't talking about nintendo's next console, look at what i wrote. when in there did i say nintendo's next console? i am talking about the wii.
