I don't understand people on this thread saying that Nintendo is, has been, and always will be, doomed. Really? Because I think Nintendo easily dominated this generation, and it probably will the next, as well, thanks to Nintendo 3DS. Even last generation, due to the Gameboy Advance/SP, Nintendo was still viable competition (again, I mean overall, not in console wars). It should also be noted that Nintendo has the strongest and most stable handheld market of ANY other video game company in history. I think Nintendo is far from doomed. I think Nintendo will continue to be the leaders in gaming innovation for years to come.
Note for all the Nintendo haters out there: Please note that I didn't say graphics, multimedia, or HD. I said innovation. It is pretty much impossible to deny Nintendo's true skill in that department.

I don't believe that innovation is equivalent to having the guts to release a console with motion controls. Not knocking Nintendo in past generations at all, or even current ones as much. I just don't really know how 'innovative' the motion controls this generation were. Definitely a ballsy, bold decision by Nintendo. Innovative? I don't know if I can give that to them.

Hmmm....well, it is your opinion, and I can respect that. I don't understand, however. Could you maybe explain how it isn't innovative? Was there a motion-sensing controller before this one (not counting Eye-Toy, which could have gone over really well if it weren't for Sony's complete lack of effort to make anything more for it) (also not counting PSMove and Kinect, because they're being released later) Sure, by today's standards, the Wii is nothing new anymore, because of t's competition creating new devices. But four years ago, when the Wii was released, it was innovative IMO
