I am not so sure. There is nothing "next gen" about the Wii. Everything that makes the Wii the huge success it is, is based on design, not technology (the Wii could have come out 5 years ago from a technical perspective). if the console industry moves that direction, there doesn't really need to be this generation designation anymore. |
The technology itself is a non factor. It's the time frame. You cannot show up this late to the party and expect to rock any boats. 3rd party publishers are already planned up for the next 2 - 3 years. Retailers have already a set amount of shelf space. Market inertia is established.
To sum up, you can't catch a bullet train while already in motion without killing yourself.
I agree with the others that claim it will be a set top box extension of iPod/iTunes, etc.... Gaming via a Wii-like device will be used for online casual games such as those from Miniclip.
The Wii-like remote will work like twisting the remote to turn the volume up or change tracks.
