Let's say it's called...the Nintendo Wave.
Slightly weaker then the PS3/360, but still strong enough that games from them are ported over rather easily. (like with last gen...the PS2 was a lot weaker then the GCN and Xbox) Controller looks pretty much just like the Classic Controller.
There is no Wii Channel system but something similar to the PS3/360 menu systems. Virtual Console does still exist.
Most of the triple AAA Wii titles would have still come out, but a lot of the games that rely solely on the Wiimote stuff would not. (no RE4 Wii Edition, no Rayman Raving Rabbids, no Wii Play or Wii Sports)
There would be a lot of PS3/360 games being ported over though, such as Call of Duty 4, Resident Evil 5 and others.
The DS would have still been released, and been pretty much identical to what it's doing now.
The online would be free, and similar to PS3 online but a bit worse.
And finally, the system would cost 280 dollars.
How do you think they'd be doing right about now? I think it'd be pretty bad.
Something like
Xbox 360 - 25 million
PS3 - 18 million
Wave - 8 million
and a end generation total of
PS3 - 70 million
Xbox 360 - 65 million
Wave - 15 million
possibly causing Nintendo to drop out of the home console market.
As opposed to what I think will happen with the Wii
Wii - 75 million
PS3 - 50 million
Xbox 360 - 40 million.
But anyway, how do you think Nintendo would be doing if they had released the traditional console I described above?
