[QUOTE="GanonBuRAP"]Last gen lasted over 5 years!! The gen before that was longer i think! Why is everyone thinking the wii will be short lived?mjarantilla

I dont think "short lived" is the way to describe it. And i also think it will be great if nintendo continues to do what they have been doing.

The wii wont go away; it will evolve. It will be Wii 2.0; a fully backwards compatible system (Wii, Gc, VC) with improved motion controls (for wii2 specific games) and vastly improved visual capabilities for around 250-300 bucks (max) and because Wii 1 will be "short lived" it will be able to undercut the competition with a new system that does all the things the wii did but with even better graphics and a cheaper pricetag than that of the competitors (which will then be ps2 and 360, still).

Because Wii 1.0 is a proof of concept product and because its done so ridiculously well it would be smart of nintendo do capitalize and literally crush the competition and still retain its consoles consumer base (those who signed on for wii 1 who will get to play all their wii games on wii2 and spend around the same amount of money for a better product).

But thats just one theory....

I agree, the Wii is only a concept machine for the Wiimote. Minimal R&D investment for maximum potential benefit. But, that doesn't mean Nintendo will end it early. It's not a good idea for the Wii2.0 to be released too early compared to the PS4 or X720 (or whatever MS will call the next Xbox), because it probably won't look much better than the PS3/360, and will be seen as even MORE outdated when the PS4/720 come out because it'll be a couple of years older.

Yah, i would agree with the 'nintendo lettin the party rage' idea, why stop the fun? But what if things start to taper off and the technology in 2.5 years is such that HD TV's are all the rage, in most households, and hi-def media is actually cheap enough to produce and get into peoples homes that the wii, at that point in time, becomes viewed in a less than favorable light by consumers?

All of this, of course, depends on many circumstances that we probably cant anticipate in any given discussion. But how much if any weight should be given to this march of technology, its effect on consumer buying habits, and the success of hi definition digital media? If its as i described then we can give alot of weight to those things........but if its not then things are going to be looking good for nintendo as far as how things are currently going is concerned.

2.5 years, making it about a 3 year introductory generation system aimed at proving a concept within the actual market and then generating a large name brand and consumer base for which to sell a future system in which more technology, development and improvements can be, at that time, reasonably invested.

EDIT: booyakashamjarantilla

The DS was the same, yet it's still going strong.

R&D for a brand new machine costs too much. As long as the Wii continues to sell well, Nintendo won't release an update unless Sony and Microsoft prompt them to do so.

That is a good point. And i think thats the way things will go if the wii continues to sell this well.

R&D is expensive; but what if it was just a matter of increasing hardware capability within the confines of the current architecture so as to allow backwards compatibility like they did with GC to Wii?
But i really dont know how plausible that possibility is; just because they did it once does it mean they can do it again. BUt then again technology is a crazy thing.

Do people READ these days?

Or do we all get online, look for the score and then continue to the message boards where we complain about the score?

The review is...well, in the review. Thats what we should be talking about here but instead we get lost in idiotic nonsense that focuses on numbers instead of substance.

GS, in a way, is turning the focus from a mere number to the actual words that are being written in the reviews amd trust me when i say that THAT is better for all parties involved.

MGS4 - Hour upon hour of Cut-scene japudrama I don't even know what they hell this game is about anymore. PASS.

So as you see Ps3 doesn't have any AAA exclusives or Any good games.

SergeantSnitch

You make a good point sir, but how can you deny the incredible contribution to dialouge, on the artform we so passionately debate , that is "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" ?? I mean its so full of meaning, describition and intellect! It will be passed on through the ages used by philosophers in the coming centuries to contribute to overall human intellect and evolution!

Sarcasm is fun.

I really have no use for this "hype" you speak of.

What i really need is a copy of the game.
