I don't think the Nintendo will have it as easy next gen as they did this one , Sony and MS would have learned from their mistakes .

And we all know the user bases don't stay loyal to any one console (citing the PS2 gen as an example).

 But the ps1 userbase stayed loyal.



I'm gonna take a wild guess. A step back in graphics and a major step forward in innovative. Like headtracking/virtual glasses with motion sensing capabilities and built in AM radio.



Predictions for December 31st 2008:
Wii 38,000,000
DS 84,500,000
PS3 17,000,000
PSP 41,000,000
X360 23,000,000

Don´t know what Nintendo will do. Nintendo is always full of surprises. I´m sure though that Sony and Microsoft will copy the current innovation of Nintendo and develop on it.



There is a lot of room for refinement in the Wii. And not even just in graphics. Online functionality (one friend code should work with any game, damn it), sound, storage and controls could all be improved.

But I think Nintendo has learned that they can't just polish up their existing offering. Freshness is what captures the imagination of the market. I'm sure they'll dig up an idea or two that nobody will see coming.

They will refine the innovation from this gen I think, there's no reason to fix what ain't broken.

The second console of a popular console has also done well, look at the NES-SNES, PS1-PS2.

I think the Wii 2 will improve graphics, power, storage and the Wii remote.

They will ride the wave of the Wii like the SNES and PS2 did.

 Yeah like Atari 2600 and Atari 5200.....Wait;...






Whats left to innovate?



There are a couple ways to continue the innovation, but for now, I think the main goal of the Wii2 (or as i like to call it, the NuWii) will be to improve on all aspects of the current Wii; higher quality graphics, able to handle more objects, 720p or so, and minor improvements to the Wiimote, such as second accelerometer, better speaker and refinement of the buttons



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
