Except they won't be more innovative, they'll just be more... copyovative. I can only imagine Microsoft and Sony will roll out their respective next gen systems with Wiimote ripoffs, as neither have done anything particularly innovative since they entered the industry.

I think it will really come down to whether or not Nintendo just makes an improvement on the Wii or does something completely different again (I suspect the former), and whether or not their user base sticks with them or sees all the new systems as basically interchangeable (HD with motion controls).

I think Nintendo has the brightest future due to wii HD,when they do make their next console.They've always been the most innovative team and I don't think the competition has much to offer besides improved graphics(again?) and engine power.Or they can make their own motion pads like sony is trying to do.This will probably flop because the wii pad was only a means to an end(making casual games for non gamers to become gamers).With a wii HD,nintendo will probably attract the 3rd party AAA support their losing right now(while probably still remaining the cheapest cash wise).Your opinions and criticisms please!

"What evey Nintendo(and Apple) made and good for us ,WE duplicate ,copy ,transform etc."

I bet next generation's standard controller from MS and Sony'll came with IR tracking similarly with Wii.

Ah, outta control a bit.I shouldn't say bad to other consoles.sorry.

Btw, lets imagine...Zelda ,Mario ,Pikmin ,Metroid etc etc. with improved graphic ,larger world and more "innovative".Can you resist that? :D

It was an interesting read, and I definitely think they're going the same route as you do- the next system will be the SNES to the Wii's NES.

Also, I'm a little frightened that Impulsivity (with whom I generally couldn't disagree more) and I both arrived at the same conclusion: Power Glove.

Oh pleas shut up!!

Nintendo wants’ to sell to as many people as possible if you don’t like it well don’t buy their system! Mario, Zelda, SSBB, Pikmin and Metroid are all kids’ games so there is nothing for you here!

Let me explain to you what you look at and decide it’s a kid’s game. You look at a colorful game and its kiddy all of a sudden! Or maybe you are one of the cool dudes who does what the cool guys do. (Note I said maybe not that you are) Well have you ever thought about if a kid can complete the game? Well you would have to be very smart to go though Pikmin if you are a kid (-7). And really good if you complete Metroid or Zelda or Mario. Games can be colorful yet made hard.

By making a game with no blood and violence most people can play them. No blood does not equal non mature games they just don’t need the rating.

Sorry for that I had to get it out :P

OT:

Nintendo will have a good future but not as good as this one because the other two will have learned from them and will be more innovative (for MS and Sony that means copy).

If Nintendo fallows the same path as before as with the NES and SNES = 2D grafix > better 2D grafix and the same with the N64 and GC it will be a very even battle between the three in the next gen wars. But if they do something new well that’s something ells they might succeed and they might not. Not all risks pay of but to move on to the next thing you have to take risks.
