Why wouldd Nintendo's next console be HD ? , considering that HD is relevant to the time that it's in.

HD would be to expensive
The consumer wouldn't neccasily want HD

Also taking into account Nintendo would probably need to adopt another high risk/high gain controler ( I don't think they could do the Wii-Mote for another 5-9 years) it further makes Nintendos future unsure.

Microsoft and Sony will adopt new strategies ( well should do ) to embrace the casual and hardcore gamers market , there's no way Nintendo will be left alone to dominate a whole segment of a market with no competition next Gen.

Then there's the possibility of even more competition , microsoft & Sony are both more able the Nintendo to sell consoles at a loss ( Nintendo is very conservative with the money it spends).

If a crystal ball told me that the Wii would come in last Next gen then i'd be the least bit suprised .

Ah, but if you look at it like that, wouldn't the vast majority of PS3 and 360 only owners be upset with the new direction their console was taking?

*SNIP*

 

For Sony and MS to do so, the first step is to be conservative with system specs, to drive down costs. The casual market isn't gonna spring for high end technology when Nintendo has a cheap and innovative alternative out which is backwards compatible with Wii-Fit.

*SNIP*

 

If there isn't a more technologicaly advanced console on the market then why would the hardcore segment complain ? it's not like the only thing they care about is graphical quality , if Sony and MS can improve the gaming experience in ways other than simply improving the graphical standard then i'm 100% certain the hardcore market would still embrace it , Gamers more than most people (I think) are excited about change and revolution however historicaly Sony and MS have limited that because of their traditional approach(and we've seen how well that worked).

Thing is if Sony & MS can justify their price of their console (Highly Innovaite @ a premium) then I see no reason why the won't give Nintendo a run for their money .it's not like Nintendo can simply come up with something innovative when it's required of them , innovative products are created by innovative people so there's no guarantee that Nintendo will still have that in 5 years or that Sony and MS won't copy the shit out of Nintendo from the begining of the next gen.
