Almost every single video game system ever produced by Nintendo has had an innovating component:  NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, DS, Wii.  I think the Gamecube was one of their few misses as a system.

Nintendo has a pile of cash.  I have a very hard believing that Nintendo doesn't have capitol to compete with Microsoft and Sony if they made a high-end HD system.  Nintendo, currently, has the 2 best selling games sytems (and the only ones that have made a good profit from the beginning) and they have the software earnings that dwarf their nearest competitors.  How could Nintendo be seen as an underdog anymore?  Indeed, reports have shown that Nintendo has dramatically increased their funding into R&D.

I believe that Nintendo, as Reggie states, cannot just make an HD system.  They need a new innovating idea.  The problem is, Microsoft and Sony, have also jumped on this bandwagon.  Natal is the logical next step.  What else is there?  The Wii isn't an idea that can be replicated every new video game generation?  Can Nintendo actually come up with an idea that captures the public imagination like the Wii did?  I am not sure how many more directions Nintendo could go in.  Brain-controlled software is on the horizon, but who knows how long that will take to perfect.

What other ideas are there?  What can Nintendo do next that will 1-up the Wand, Natal, and the Wii itself? 

It'll proberly be the better version of the wii. What else would they do is a mystery. I'm huessing they can do 3-D gamplay. But I'm not sure how it'll work

Dude you sure are pretty busy with these "new Wii" threads. Why don't you just enjoy all of the awesome games that are available RIGHT NOW for the Wii?

look at the date. Its from last week. Its not a month old thread yet. So I'm allowed to post on it. No one posted here so I felt
bad  

Whatever it'll be, I'm sure it'll be something none of us expected, and something that may not look like much when it's first unveiled but turns out to be revolutonary, like Wii at the time... I mean, it's Nintendo, after all.

It will be a console built into a waterproof hat with a flip down screen you can play anywhere.

I know the answer... I know what will happen with the next nintendo console.. I even know whats going on with the next handheld... but I ain't telling you... I'm selling it to Microsoft...

Whoa whoa, not you man....you're cool. That comment was directed at the OP.

I didn't make that clear, I apologize for that.

lol I knew you were directing to me. You misread my post. Yu said why did the OP post so much about the next wii. I'm telling you its
no recent.

One word -- Smellivision.

On a more serious note, Nintendo should look to increase game emersion.
