Obviously, the Wii will be launching a new console before MS/Sony, so I am not really only referring to the HD Twins.  Please share your thoughts.


How is this obvious? Have you seen the sales of the Wii? Wii successor will probabaly be out last again.

There are rumors everywhere right now that the successor to the Wii is launching in 2011.  I have seen other users post references on this site to many of them.  Hell, even Gizmodo had an article circulating the rumor.  While you are correct and I do not have definitive proof, it seems that there are too many of these rumors to be floating around for it to not be likely. Perhaps I should have chosen my wording differently.

And please do not take me saying the Wii is inferior to any of the other consoles and NEEDS to launch first for sales.  The Wii is a powerhouse in sales.  But at the same time innovation is what is selling on the Wii.  This post was more in reference to "what's under the hood".  The Wii has little more to offer from a processing stand point.  MS/Sony still have more that can be done on their consoles.  They can be pushed farther.  Too many developers are too lazy to create a great, innovative experience on the Wii.  I wish they would as I love my Wii.  But as much as I hate to admit it, the only games I am playing on it anymore are games made by Nintendo as they are the only ones doing the system justice.
