| Sky Render said: I don't doubt that the Wii has enormous untapped potential, because it does; the insane unmet demand for it has been evidence enough of this. The fact that it's in such high demand at above the standard "bargain" price of $200 is also solid evidence of its power. But (as my adenum to my previous post mentions) this could all get shot to heck if somebody releases a system for a comparative price that has the same control setup and better capabilities, and draws all the attention away from Nintendo ("Why wait for the Wii to be in stock when you can get this new system for just a bit more and get the same features?"). Sony and MS might not, but they're just the known quantities... |
Only companies I could see trying is Apple or Intel, and Intel isn't a softwares company, and Apple, has never had very strong gaming capabilities, so its possible but I don't see it happening any time soon
