What? The Wii was so far behind technically it couldn't even make them out through the trail of dust they left it in. 480i/P is not even close to 720P/1080i/p. If it was even close, they would have done HD graphics. While I doubt the new Nintendo will be less than what is out today in terms of power, I doubt it will be much better. Nintendo likes it's profit margins much like Apple. They will keep the cost down as much as possible.

I think you need to be introduced to the Gamecube which was more powerful than the PS2, sold for $100 less, and Nintendo didn't come close to losing as much money on hardware as Sony did.

Are you talking about PS2 vs. GC or PS3? Because PS2 annihilated GC in both sales and profits

That's not what he's saying.  He's pointing out that Sony sold the PS2 at a much bigger loss per unit, despite the fact that the Gamecube was more powerful and sold for $100 less.

Wasn't GC the only console that Nintendo was actually loosing money on in its 1st year?
