I think Sony just overestimated the Playstation brand and thought they could use it to push Bluray on 100m people, launch the console later than MS and ensure it was the most powerful and still maintain their previous position.
With regards to HD - it may be becoming more popular but there's 2 arguments to this
1. Only very serious gamers will not buy a Wii cos it's lack of HD graphics - in order for the majority to see this as a stumbling point is gonna still take years which leads to point 2.
2. When HD TV's are in the majority of homes and it's accepted as an industry standard do you seriously think Nintendo will not compensate by releasing a new Wii model that outputs to HD TV, i've said in previous posts that I think the Wii will be like the Ipod with several different models all playing same software but with options like colour, storage, HD capability, tighter motion controlls ( eventually) and this is just the base model we are seeing now, probably will be named the Wii Classic or something down the line.
This model IMO is just to get a user base out there and a library of games then introduce new features and models slowly as and when the markets ready.
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
