Good point Erik Aston, you sum up what I have to say on this topic.
I might aswell add, I think Ninty will upstream the market not to compete with the consoles, the consoles are dead if Nintendo are concerned base on the profits they have so far, but to compete with the PC. I think this is what the third tier Nintendo wants to invade to. If not, why would Ninty wants to release the Wii on Korea and China? Two of the most country that uses the internet/PC and one of the countries that have the most pirated games?
Even Ninty knows that even without the Wii, gamer will lose interests in consoles sooner or later, I mean, why would you own a console if theres a PC around? You can do games on PC and more and it have better graphics than any consoles out there. See the problem? If Malstrom was right on this one, Ninty will change internet gaming since thats what PC really excels at, and make online gaming suitable for the new market.
