No idea what post you're on about, but the fact you didn't know FEAR was known for it's AI shows that you are not a gamer at all. Super Mario Galaxy was fine, but the pad lag made it more awkard than it should have been. Haven't played the other two, as for NSMBW it's an abysmal game. The co-op is a test of patience and its a step back to crap. 2D? Thought we'd left that behind, as well as mindless lemming 'enemies'. Well saying that the game is cleartly aimed at children due to the lack of speech and 'cute' sounds, but so was LBP, and that was a game with far better platforming etc whilst presenting a good difficulty for old and new gamers, whilst offering level editing, co-op, online co-op etc. |

well let me explain a few things, first just because consumers that never owned a console before were more attracted to the Wii than the HD consoles it doesn't mean that those same consumers won't be interested in a better version of the console they have, you are thinking about it from a old school gamer's point of view where because they didn't support the technically superior HD consoles that were just offering HD versions of the same games these people don't want a technically better version of their current console. just because consumers wren't interested in better specs before doesn't mean that in the future they won't be interested in a better version of the Wii, and much of it is with keeping up with the Joneses a lot of people are buying Wiis because people they know are buying them but if Nintendo offer a technologically superior and backwards compatible version, then those consumer will be more than happy to pay a little extra to not just keep up with the Joneses but sprint past them, additionally new consumers that own a new flash HD TV (a lot of people own them now) and they go to buy a Wii the shop assistant asks have you got a HD TV they reply yes and the shop assistant recommends Nintendos new console as it is HD, same could happen when someone buys a new HD TV. Admittedly this requires strategy relies on the Wii still being in high demand but it doesn't look like demand is going anywhere soon and it is just a couple of ways of getting new customers to new the "Wii2" console without even whatever new thing Nintendo brings with their new console.
As for bringing over people that already bought a Wii other than better specs there is also new games especially sequels to games like Wii fit (sold 22.56m copies), new super Mario bros (sold 13.03m copies on the Wii), Super smash bros (sold 9.39m on the Wii) not bad sales for a console where half the owners don't buy games as they are casuals who are happy with Wii sports or use it as a dust collector man there must be some dedicated fans to buy all those games. These sequels along side some new IP and some classic franchises and a lot of current Wii owners will make the jump to the next generation especially when you advertise it as being able to play all your old Wii games in HD as well as new Games that look much better.

there you go
oh and where did I say I din't know FEAR was known fear was known to have good AI what I am saying is the AI is not why everyone who I know liked it or purchase it because of the AI. Also there is a difference between scripted AI (follows a liner set of actions eg take cover fire take cover throw grenade repeat) and dynamic AI that analises the surroundings and reacts to events in real time and executing a set of scripted AI. Metro 2033 has some of the most interesting AI in a long time (I have read some of the white papers on it) the stuff like simulating true line of site and hearing, multiple alert levels etc
