No, it wouldn't have to compete with the current consoles, because by the time Nintendo comes with a new console, so will the others. Sony and Microsoft won't make the same mistake again, and will drastically decrease the power increase from this gen to the next as compared to the one we saw from PS2 -> PS3.

Nintendo's next console, WiiHD, will be far more powerfull (imo) than 360: Nintendo has the money, the brandname (Wii) and has always had a technichally competative console.

 

Since the wii is just a little more powerful than an Xbox then why do you think their console would be a lot more powerful than 360/Ps3 since they are a little ahead of their time. The Big N next system would have to come up again with something totally new. By the end (whenever that may be) of this generation I have no doubt you will see a huge leap in graphics differences between PS3/360 vs Wii. In another words Wii will age faster than PS3/360.

As you said I believe Microsoft and Sony have learn (we hope) their lession and will probably run with 360/ Ps3 for a much longer time than last generation consoles. Of course this depends of how many leaps we see coming to the PC.

One of the big advantage of the Wii right now is it cheaper to make games for. One of the disadvantage of the Wii is it cheaper to make games (shovelware) for.
