only if it brings them profits.
i guess, thats nintendo main priority lately.
but i would be amazed to see a zelda with a budget of killzone 2.

They will probably go for a tech level equivalent or slightly greater than the 360. By time next gen rolls around 360 tech should be same cost as Wii tech and having more horsepower is the only way N6 is going to get an improvement in third party support over Wii. The N6 will probably still be outperformed comprehensibly by 720/PS4 but that is irrelevant. With 360 tech level the N6 will have more than enough. Remember Nintendo isn't concerned with a technological arms race.

But there will be a difference.
Nintendo should make a console that is as powerfull as a 300$ price tag will let it be (which based on a 360 means much more powerfull than the current Wii and significantly more powerfull than current gen consoles).
I doubt Nintendo will jump on the 500$ console stupidity train.

I just want something at least comparable to it's competitors, so developers with make more games for it.

Definitely.

But this will just mean the 3rd party developers will have to compete against Nintendo, the other complaint that 3rd party uses against Nintendo.

Here's an answer. Put out games that can compete with Nintendo games.

This has been discussed before, but the reason devs aren't working with Wii isn't just because its weaker. It's a question of momentum. By the time Wii rolled around, and it became apparent that it would be a significant force in the industry (let alone by the time its utter dominance become apparent), devs had already invested in HD System development. They had found their markets and were going to stick with it, because they have easy money on the PS360, and they feel recasting themselves to develop outside that isn't worth the investment.
People will know by the next generation from the get-go that it's worth it to develop on Nintendo platforms, and Nintendo just may conform to the existing development tech for the PS360. The focus of development will be on Nintendo first, and if Sony and Microsoft move too far up the tech scale, they're the ones who are going to have to worry. Probably.

I highly doubt this means developers can't produce quality titles for the Wii.
