Should Nintendo launch in 2011-12 starting the next gen with monster power?

'Quality' of a console is entirely based on opinion.  And yours is plain to see.  And while some people may be prone not to like the Wii for its 'lack of graphics' or 'lack of technical specs', its plain to see the majority of people this gen like the Wii for reasons beyond that.

And there's nothing to say a more powerful and better looking successor to the Wii would do worse than the Wii did based on system performance.  Especially if it came out with no compeition.  That's even more backwards thinking.

Ah but there lies my point - if the owners are fine with a console which has dated graphics and slow reacting controls in comparison to the other consoles on the market, what could possibly entice them to buy a new console as clearly an improved machine (better graphics, better controls) are not a concern of theirs?

By using your logic, what enticed them to buy a Wii over the PS2?  Or any console over a handheld?

Obviously, the Wii opened up new markets, but not everyone who owns a Wii is a 'granny or 10 year old who only plays WiiSports'.  And there's nothing stopping them from buying a new Nintendo console.
