The only reason some of you (including the OP) perceive the wii's business model to be better than that of the HD consoles is because it has sold more.
but wait? Has it?
non hd consoles: ~62 million hd consoles: ~66 million.
almost an even split.
The only reason the wii's business model is considered better is because it exists without competition.
IF next gen two consoles go simple and keep things basic with hw profitability from the get go, then that leaves 1 with the business model the 360/PS3 currently share.
THAT console will then win that generation.
I say lets get complex, lets have consoles do everything. (At least 1 of them should). And there is not any reason (going by current facts) that model will do any worse than the simplified alternative.
I could go on, but I am tired.
