Iwata and Reggie had already states that HD is not enough for their next console. They are likely to had other tricks.

Natal and move are counter attacks for the disru[ption of the wii mote, but Nintendo is already away with a new device: the vitality sensor. if they can nailed it with SW as Wii sports for the wii mote and Wii fit for the balance board, they will continue to difference themself even more.


Last for the online, looking at Iwata investor's conference, it seems to be important to Nintendo and they will likely improve and widened that (maybe 3G for the 3DS... who knows). They seems concerned to push customers to go online (wifi point at Mc Donald in Japan, connect program in europe)

The longer Nintendo holds off on releasing current hardware with HD compatibility, the truer this claim becomes.

It could have been feasible for Nintendo to release an up-specced version of the Wii with HDMI output, an updated GPU and CPU, additional RAM/VRAM for about the same asking price as the original Wii ($250), fully compatible with current games only at 1920x1080p render resolutions. It would essentially work like Wii emulators for the PC, without the overhead emulation requires, meaning it would run smoother than PC emulators, even operating on high end builds.

Nintendo has already done this before with the DS, but for the Wii, it would likely result in lower margins per unit, with the only key feature being HDMI/1080p output. Not enough to get the casual consumer to upgrade, and not enough capture significantly more marketshare than current.

The longer they hold off on their next console update, the more likely it is that Nintendo will try to move in a different direction with the two most likely features to remain motion controls of some sort and improved network connectivity and services.

I'm not under the impression that the Vitality Sensor qualifies as any sort of game changer at all. We'll see what games they have at E3, but it's been pretty quiet since last year's announcement and most of the game support may fall into the category of supplementary usage, meaning optional.

While it may not necessarily be another Wii Music, it may just fall into the category of another fun experiment from Nintendo that many existing users will enjoy. Hardly redefining.

No Vitality sensor is more of a Wii bord thing. Creating a periferal that is simply none existent in the market and many may view as revolutinary. its part of there expanded costumers plan. 

Its the inovation branch of Nintneod at work. Personally I think it will not work as well as the Bord but only time can tell.

See when you look at Nintendo you have to ask yourself what kind of skill they have as a company.Like what kind of branch's or wing's do they have. And why they have that.

Nintendo has a big advantage over the 2 other cause it is the only honest driven of the 3. and this is why

Sony are there to push TV's and Blueray lisences. so its not really in the industry of gaming to make Good games of fun games. thats really not a honest motive from start.

MS well i know the least of all as iv always hated MS but i think there just in this market to recover lost from there PC stuff losing market share from Consule's

Nintendo is the only Compny thats honestly there to make money off of good games and thats what Gaming is all about. 

 

 

Sure Sony and MS have good games on there systems but the motive of thos games and the company behind is to do something compleatly un-related to making gaming better or more fun  for everyone. yes in the end thats wat they need to do , but are not as motivated to do so then Nintendo in general.

 

Got a bit side tracked but ya.

If you understand this you will know why I support Nintendo more then the others. Cause i know what there motive is and i like it.

Saying SONY isn't honest is kinda like saying Naught Dog isn't honest.


I think it comes down to market analysis. Nintendo's was spot on. The other's focused on their values which were high end gaming machines.
