Will the next-gen Wii be more powerful than the PS3?

I think Nintendo are currently digging a pretty big hole for themselves. Their losing valuable 3rd party support, and are going for the quick bucks by keeping the Wii overpriced. Sure it is doing great right now, and will still do fine after Natal and ''Arc'' release. But those will already force Nintendo to drop price. ANd what about next gen? Without the motion control advantage and lower 3rd party support, what are they going to do?

Bwahahahaha, what value do the third parties give to Nintendo?

 

NATAL and the Arc won't cause Wii to lower price, unless Sony and MS alter their methods for going after the downmarket

 

Nintendo only has to disrupt the market again next gen

Are you kidding me? Rare basically saved N64 back in the day, and 3rd party support made Playstation what it is today. And normally 3rd party software also accounts for the biggest part of a consoles software sales.

And what is a $199 Wii going to do against a $199 360, both with motion control support. Wii will be seriously overpriced.

So basically it's the other way around. It isn't that Nintendo doesn't need third parties, it's all they have is 1st party.
