The problem with Nintendo is that their console has 1-2GB of RAM, not to mention other specs that I don't know much about. Its their own fault because they made more money than Sony and Microsoft with the Wii, they had the resources to come up with a console on par with their consoles, instead of creating a console thats going to be outclassed by the PS4 and the Xbox 720 in the a space of one year. |
Nintendo never had a chance considering their current philosophy. To go from the Wii to a PS4-type console is quite possible, but it would be far too giant of a leap in terms of development costs in my opinion. It would be fair to say that Nintendo should have prepared for HD development years in advance, but what you are asking also took the the industry at least five-six years to fully understand the capabilities of the PS360. So it would be like asking Nintendo to fast track over that part and start making games on par with next-gen tech demos now which is unreasonable. Though, I'm sure third parties would appreciate the hardware.
Personally, I'm not that concerned with third parties. Their first party software and exclusives are much more valueable. The Wii money should be used to expand and start up new studios to gain more developers and increase their software output.
