Wii Successor will have 3D

Hmm you guys gave me an idea about Nintendo's next console...suddenly a projector doesn't seem so far fetched.

How about a console that entirely relies on itself (I mean NO OTHER hardware, not even controllers!) and nothing else? Besides being able to run DVDs or Blu-Rays or whatever capable disc format, it would also produce the sound and the visuals (using a projector as part of the console). What about the controllers? Well, I have a simple answer: Kinect-like control.

It'd be usable pretty much anywhere where you can connect it!

And before you scream "Handheld!!!", it would clearly not be a handheld because you cannot hold the screen in your hands while at the same time making the movements necessary to play (unless you want to throw the console like a ball hahaha). Besides, such a console would need to be a lot larger and heavier than a handheld.

Who knows? Maybe even the games are downloadable so you don't even have the need to carry the games around with you! And even though the console allowed for the use of the projector, its own sound system and downloadable games, maybe you could also be able to connect it to a HDTV and play it just fine!

Crazy idea? Maybe, most likely it is. But nobody besides Nintendo knows better so don't go just labeling it that way and call it a day; at least try to tell everyone why it's not a good idea.

PS: I just recalled...Miyamoto or Iwata (or someone from Nintendo...can't remember the name clearly) once said  a few years ago that he thought one day videogames would break away from TVs...at least that's a hint!

I think a built in projector in a console would be awesome. For one, you could have a huge screen on your wall, movie theatre style. Or maybe they'd have a way to tilt it so you can have your games displayed on the surface of a table, sorta like the "MS surface" but a lot cheaper and (kinda) portable. Then you could combine this with motion sensing so you could interact with the images displayed on the table. This is probably not in the near future but who knows what the future holds. A mere 25 years ago, videogame graphics were 2D pixelated blocks. This would be an effective marketing move because it gets rid of the need for a television, and allows for flexibility in terms of how big you want your screen, and even whether you want it displayed on a wall or flat surface.

And taking this idea partially from Malstrom, but maybe you could download full retail games (but you can still buy them the normal way if you wish) and burn them on some sort of blank disk. Maybe you could buy blank discs that hold more space and download MULTIPLE full retail games on a single disk, making your own customized compilation disk. This would appeal to many gamers, as it allows you to download your games, but also have them on a physical disc, and also allow for a little creativity with customizable compilations and perhaps customizable menus or something.. I know I would love that at least.

The possibilites are really endless if you think about it.. It's fun to think about :)

Nintendo could do something like this (though perhaps not as advanced) to make their console stand out from the others. Just having HD, 3D, and motion controls will not cut it.

This stuff may sound crazy but I wouldn't put anything past Nintendo. I bet nobody expected them to come out with a motion controlled, 3D handheld without the need for glasses, with graphics near the HD consoles, ready for 2010-2011.

first projector will be costly so Nintendo won't do it

and second what the hell would it do for gaming????????????????????????????????????????????????

you are talking as if Projector console is the next BIG STEP which its not
