What will it mean for the next gen of consoles if Wii wins this one?

Not just win but Obliterate in sales.

Waggle controls for everyone? :(

If that happens I ought to just pack my Bags and head for PC land.

I'm guessing that Sony'll have a better motion controller next gen, and Microsoft will probably just keep on doing what works for them.

I imagine that next gen there will be motion sensing, but there will be more of an option not to use it. You have to remember that waggle is the only thing that the wii has over the other consoles, so every game pretty much has to use it or else risking being truly last gen. If the graphics are more equal next gen, then no console will follow it religiously as the wii does and always will.

...and you're fooling yourself if you think pc gaming is immune to what the wii offers. PC gaming prides itself in being better than console gaming in every way, and as of right now the wii has something on it

nothing, it just proves that a cheaper priced system will out sell higher priced system specaily if it has a welll known name like nintendo on it.

i own a wii and i havent had it hooked up since re4 came out. and im really thinking of skipping ninteno systems in the future. because the wii seems like a get rich quik idea from nintendo.

i will not rush out and buy one next time thats for sure..

Everyone has a mic, they just dont always want to use it. Frankly weather its on a console or PC I dont use my mic much anymore unless I already know you. Its just not worth the grief to talk to to most gamers. They come off as spoiled little brats, I get less of that on my PC.

Wii has 0 on PC's. Thats an basurd statement.

They use a more advanced control scheme in PC land as well I'm afraid.

nah, i think the gimmickness will wear off. there's only so much you can do with motion controls. there's a lot more you can do with conventional controls.mistervengeance

just like they said about the mouse right? ;)

If you think the Wii is bad for the industry, than just stop playing video games now. I understand your fear of casual gaming becoming a norm, but what you fail to realize is that the "new market" that the Wii and DS cater to, won't want to play those games forever, eventually they, now knowing what a video game is capable of, will want to become more involved in a more epic type of game, aka, what most here consider a hardcore title. By next generation i guarantee you Nintendo will be at the forefront of a more traditional (by 360 or PS3 standards) input device utilizing the same motionsensing technology found in the Wii AND up to current gen technology standards, and they will STILL be roughly 200 dollars cheaper than theircompetitor. Quit thinking that just because theres a new, more profitable market out there that Hardcore gaming is done.

If there are more consoles like the Wii...I might just try to stick with PC gaming. Sure, the Wii controller is nice and innovative...but I still like my good ol' controllers. :)
