Hmmm, good question. IGN recently posted something interesting regarding this very subject. Check out the vid:

^^ graphical power might not be the MAIN reason why N64 and GC failed, but the fact is, they failed. and Wii won, big time.

I see Nintendo focusing on what is working and change almost nothing.

Higher graphical power will force Nintendo to increase WII2's price and I just don't see that happening at all.

I see Nintendo making a barely HD console next time, probably 720P and close to 360's graphical power.

how do you know it wasnt the wii controls that people liked?

and ive seen your post before and your very anti-wii


Apparently that was just trolling. In this case king's apparently being a realist.

If the next system can be more powerful than the PS3 and 360, but cost less than $200 to make, Nintendo would make it that powerful, but no more.

You hit the nail on the head. Nintendo will make a general price point that is in line with their audience, and release said console with whatever graphical upgrades can garner them a profit from day one. As far as the controller, i'll say they'll keep the base(Wiimote) generally the same, because they shaped it like a remote purposely. I can see something new coming in as an attachment instead of the nunchuck.

My every post has a purpose, I don't have time to troll against any company as I'm not getting paid to do so. I agree with some people here. If NIntendo can put a package together with STRONG graphical power and motion sensor for under 150 (cost price), then they will do it. Otherwise, graphical power is first to get cut.

 It appears to be like the PSeye, but the PSeye does 120fps i think and that one does 60fps.  This was what i posted in that other wii thread about what i think wii2 will be.

"Whatever they can make for $200 and sell for $250 is what they will make. I would imagine some sort of system around the same strength as the PS3. But better in some area's due to cheap prices and worse in others. I would like to hope for something along the lines of Home for online with mii's. I also think they will use advanced wii-mote technology with the PSeye to make more immersion in there games."

Well the N64 was black, and the GC was purple, but the wii is kind of white and grey and that seems to be working, so the next one will definately be white and/or grey.

 you're a funny guy lol.

I'm willing to take a week ban betting if Wii2 only comes in 1 colour, it's going to be White.

:P, Who else wants in on this?

Well, if Nintendo continues it's current trend, it probably will barely pass the 720p barrier. But then again, in 3 years EVERYTHING will be HD, and HD components will be so much cheaper.

I mean considering the possible technologies, and prices of the those technologies, it'd probably real easy to beat the power of the PS3, but Nintendo apparently doesn't care, they just want money.



rudyrsr8 on 02 March 2008

I say HD support has already ben confirmed for the next wii, also probally a controller where we dont have one or if we do it is in the form of something that is able to change shape.

 Barely pass the 720p barrier? Heh, the Wii currently can produce 720p and I think possibly as high as 1080i. Unless Nintendo makes the next system weaker hardware wise it will be well beyond 720p. The power differnce between the GC and Wii is often underestimated.
