Nintendo already did a console that the industry could love and they ignored them: the GameCube. If HD was REALLY that an important issue then the xbox and the PS3 would have outsold them and that didn't happen.
Wii has proven that the game industry (journalists, 3d parties, analysts) are absurd and not as important as they want us to believe. Is ridiculous how after 5 years we still have these kind or arguments like if the wii "failed" or was a mistake when sales and customer behaviour proved the contrary.
I rarely read game reviews any more, stop listening to analysts and throw the towel with the 3d parties and they snobish attitudes. I was never a Nintendo fan, but in this hell hole named "game industry" is the only thing that reallt resemblence what GAMING is about...most of times.
