The 360 is destroying the Wii in sales after the release of a brand new (very good) SKU, in NA. I also doubt Kinect will do anything to impact the Wii, or hamper it in any meaningful way within the market.

They could do it, but I doubt they will. Probably 2012/2013, but you never know.

The way Nintendo usually does it is they release first in Japan and then if all goes well, the US follows. I'm thinking a Wii HD release for Holiday 2011 and then the US release for March 2012.

Nintendo has to do something NOW. The 360 is destroying the Wii in sales and with Kinect around the corner, things will only get worse.

Microsoft will sell as many 360 consoles as they can manufacture this year. I anticipate it will be very hard to get a hold of a 360 Kinect bundle this year.

But Nintendo can fire back. They can release a new Wii HD console that is backwards compatible with the regular Wii and with more advanced controls.

The Wii HD could even be CONSIDERABLY more powerful than both the PS3 and 360 and EASILY meet a $300 launch price. Nintendo needs to wake up, they can't sleep on their huge lead.

This will also finally get the respect of the hardcore gamers and systemwars.

Who can think of one good reason why they shouldn't do this?

I do most of my gaming alone and in the confined space of my bedroom; therefore, it wouldn't make sense for me to use it in my living room for a party system or even at all.scorch-62

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] people who bought the wii will have a 92% chance of buying a more expensive "xbox 360 + Kinect", motion control device with a lackluster launch "which is similar to game they can also get on the wii", yeah i don't see that happeningChris_Williams

the games are similar and have you ever heard of the playstation eyetoy? yeah so saying its brand new and fresh is redundant yeah it has better technology but how is something original when its been done before. Graphics don't mean jack squat to me, it goes like this move is similar to the wii "with better technology" and kinect is similar to the eyetoy "with better technology" anyone who knows what their talking about can see that.

[QUOTE="bigboss5ak"]Who isnt buying kinect?? It will be an amazing device that the whole family can enjoy. People who bought the wii will have a 92% chance of buying kinectChris_Williams

i honestly can't see anyone of my friends and me playing kinect and using it as a "party system", that would be a waste of money i mean your going to have party's everyday? Also only 2 people can be on kinect so its not like everyone can play so why not just play some halo splitscreen, but of course this is just in my opinion

I already have the new 360 250gb, so I'm just getting the Kinect. Also I notice your situation is similar to mine, I'm not just getting the Kinect for myself but I'm getting it for other people in this home and who comes over.

What do you think of the new 360 slim? Did you have the Jasper before that? How does it compare to your old 360?

I do my gaming in my bedroom. I have a huge plasma HDTV and my 360 and PC are both connected to it. I have the Jasper 360 with the 120 GB HD and that is enough for me. I have an ethernet cable connected directly into the console so I get a great stable connection.

However, when friends come over they sometimes ask me to bring out the console to my living room so we can play street fighter or madden or some other game they want to play. When I do this, I can't sign in to Xbox live because I don't have a wifi adapter for my system. So I can't play any of the arcade games that I own, can't download demos, can't watch movies, can't watch netflix.

It's pretty annoying actually. I've often thought about buying another xbox for my living room with a wifi adapter but i'm cheap so I always just say no i'll just move the one from my bedroom when I need it and put up with no internet.

But now that the 360 slim is out and kinect will be out soon i'm definitely buying it. I'm going to get the $300 pack with the new 4GB slim bundled with Kinect. That way I can keep it in my living room and not only that, I will also have the new kinect to go along with it.

How amazing will it be to not only be able to watch netflix movies, but also control it by waving my hands in the air or voice commands? Also, when family comes over and there are little kids, they will go crazy for the kinect games. I have little cousins that tell me they want kinectimals.

This is going to be amazing. I'm getting a brand new cool redesign 360 slim with wifi so I can put it in the living room. And i'm also getting the awesome new kinect system that costs $150 alone for the low price of $300.

Who else is getting the new $300 Kinect Bundle?

You've missed out on the best games of this gen.
