True, and im all for supporting companies that need to make profit and survive. MS / Sony, no sympathy. I just don't want to see Nintendo dissapear like all the rest.

Going into this gen, I had my doubts as well, especially since they were showing games like Wii sports, which was like 3 steps backwards in graphics. It confused me, because even the GC had games with better graphics than Wii Sports. It wasnt until I saw RE 4 that my doubt was cast aside. I really thought the Wii might be Nintendo's swan song at E3 2006.
Now, I don't think Nintendo's going to be in any trouble for quite a while. The public has gotten to know the Wii to a level uncommon to the industry, and their fanbase grew expontentially from expanding the market.
If I had to speculate, I'd expect the next Nintendo home console to support HD, as by 2010/2012 it will be more commonplace, put in a graphics chip comparable to the XB360 chip, and maybe even have a separate PPU (Physics Processor unit). As for media, who knows, but I think that digital distribution might not be far off.
