Hopefully it's not shitty or another motion sensor type gaming console.

Guarantee it will have a motion sensor and some new tech. I bet 3D.

Meh, I've been kind of done with consoles since this last generation, the ps2 and gamecube were the best, ps3 huge let down.

But as long as they let me play super smash bros with a gamecube controller il be on board.

xbox360 FTW!!

I grew up playing nintendo, honestly they've let me down.
I can't believe Microsoft and Sony are dominating the market

I'm not surprised about the stats about the DS. Nearly every child owns a DS, it's also very affordable.
But generally the Wii is more oriented to children/cartoony games I think.

I heard reports that it's most likely going to incorporate some sort of touch screen with the controller. The idea behind this is that you will be able to have your "private part" of the screen while being able to enjoy multiplayer games. Think of it as not having your brother screen watch you while playing COD

really? gamecube? I'd easily replace that with the dreamcast.

I also believe console gaming this generation is better than the last. The decreasing split-screen modes, regenerative health and shorter gameplay are some of the shortcomings of the current gen, I'd argue that although there seems to be more quality titles on the market.

PS2 no doubt has the best library of games but PS3 is overall a better package (DVD playback was meh, but blu-ray is huge for me..but i won't exactly call the ps3 a perfect media player anymore).

and really..i think Nintendo was always meant to capture a more general casual gaming crowd...but now that it's going for HD it seems like it wants in on the more serious gaming niche.

When I was younger I spent countless hours playing Golden Eye and SSB with friends on a shitty 20" tube tv lol.
Easily the best times growing up.

Hmmm where are the software sales figures?

have you played on the N64 recently?

some friends and I played some mariokart and super smash awhile ago and the graphis hurt my eyes to play on... it was still pretty fun though.
It's just amazing how the times have changed!

Unlike the other 2 Nintendo makes money on every console it sells.

They do. Sony and Microsoft take a hit with every console they sell, it's a loss leader that they make up for on the back end with both game sales and now their online network sales.

Nintendo both makes a margin on their consoles but also keeps a huge portion of it's game development in house so they pick up a bigger margin there as well, rather then only getting licensing fees.

I HATE the Wii (though I <3 my DSlite), but Nintendo's been incredibly smart in their business model and in courting the gamers who aren't being served by Microsoft and Sony, leaving those two to fight over the same diminishing pool.

i love nintendo. that's where all the casual gaming goes for me.

the PC is where i go HARDCORE.

Nintendo's goal have always been more family oriented.
And more affordable. Those two things combined will make it always on top.
And I'm not even a Nintendo fan.

But I don't think I'll ever buy a console again until I have kids maybe.
Which would probably end up being a Nintendo in that case.
I personally like to stick with my PC for gaming.

I like how the new selling feature is something Dreamcast used ages ago.

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 IMO are the most underrated games of this gen, if people can just put their pride away and go back to their childhood, seriously i can never outgrow Nintendo, their games has always been about quality

say what you want about the Wii, but there is sooo many gems in that console that people just overlook it because their too busy playing COD.. im waiting for The Last Story to have a NA release..

They better make a crazy super mario game .. None of that gimmick mario galaxy crap

^+1. Mario Galaxy was garbage.

Mario Galaxy is probably one of the best games made in the last 10 years, along with Portal and Half Life 2. You guys are insane.

Unfortunately, it's also one of the only 3 to 5 games that are worth playing on the Wii.

But Nintendo is refocusing with the Wii successor, to get better 3rd party support. Expect it to be about as powerful as a 360/PS3, so multiplatform games can easily be ported (right now, if they want to make a Call of Duty or Dead Space game for Wii, they have to make a whole new game for it). There's no need to make it any more powerful, since the other consoles are going to be around for a while. And when the next generation does start, it will be much easier to just tone down the graphics to port to the current gen.

The main rumor for the new Wii is that each controller will have its own touch screen, so it'll be kind of like having a DS experience on console. They are saying 5" screen, but that seems pretty out there...

IMO

Dreamcast was the best console for entertaining games HANDS DOWN

only reason I stopped playing because it stopped reading games :'(

why did dreamcast die so fast? piracy?

^ bad management by Sega, and they lost faith, they assumed that when PS2, GC and Xbox come out they would get crush, releasing a hardware 2 years ahead of competition can have setbacks, as DC would not be as capable as the latter 3 in terms of performance and graphics...

plus it had no support from EA (same reason as Saturn also because of Sega's mismanagement)
