Depends on what you mean by more powerful.. PS2 is more powerful than XBOX, but xbox games are prettier. Im not gonna hold my breath on what the wii HD will be capable of- suffice to say it shd be 720p at this point, considering that ps360 cant output natively at 1080p themselves.
Any other guesses? Blu ray probably or some proprietary format, DVD9 is out though- since Smash bros takes up that much space. Movie playback? Dont bet on it. GC didn't support it, wii doesnt.. well not officially atleast.
Nintendo is EXTREMELY profit driven and it has served them well in the past-they are pretty much at their zenith right now. They havent had this kind of success since the NES. Sticking to the formula is whats gonna work for them.
The only way they may get into a "power rat-race" is if NATAL and "arc" are successes. Arc and wiimote are kinda complimentary so devs may like that more. The PS3 graphically is a pretty decent machine- GPU is aight, its main draw being the CELL. The wii wont have anything that powerful IMO.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
