The fact is, people are so ingrained in their "graphics whore" mindset that they forget that the Wii is outselling both the PS3 and 360, for a reason - not because the Graphics are a generation behind.
If anyone wants a PS3 from Nintendo next-gen, I suggest you buy a PS3 now. If the Wii didn't even have a DVD player in it, I highly doubt Nintendo's next will match even everything the PS3 offers today.
Nintendo needs to make profit on every console they sell...you can bet it will be an HD console, but it needs to make Nintendo money. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo cannot afford to take a hit on every single console they sell.
When the PS3 laucnhed, they had so much tech packed in there that they STILL lost money @ the $600 price range. STILL.
Nintendo cannot afford that, because video games are their primary revenue stream and a successful business is all about maximizing revenue.
