So looking on Gamespot and there is the announcement that Nintendo are looking at producing their next big thing. Reading the comments posted, there seems to be a great deal of disbelief in what will be delivered and what has been done with the current system, the Wii.

The Wii was seen as 'revolutionary'. It broke the current mould of how we interact with games. The motion controllers with WiiSport was something never experienced before and offered a great deal of promise. Like anything new there was some hesitancy with how to use the new motion controls and there are more than a few Wii games that are terrible because of the new controls. I would consider the wii as a trial in this aspect, it gave all the developers time to work on the motion controls and include them in traditional games in a practical way. There is also the new style of games that can be dedicated to the motion control for the entertainment value. Having not used the motion controls for the Sony I can not give any judgement on how well they go. I have had some experience with Miscrsofts Kinect, and it seems about as responsive as the iToy Sony had a while back. For this reason Nintendo has a whole console of experience in motion controls, while the others seem like they need to work out the bugs.

Many of the 'other console users' stick to the same comments of inferior graphics and kiddy games. This is true, the Wii does have inferior graphics abilities and the games are aimed more at a younger audience. Even the games that come out across the three consoles often gets watered down on the Wii version. Nintendo has a loyal following which at times has kept the company in the position it's in. The franchises like Mario and Zelda are in my opinion some of the best and most uniquely in depth and entertaining games I've ever played. With Sony and Microsoft now establishing a stronger fan based over a number of generational consoles now, Nintendo can no longer rely on its 'loyal following' to keep it competitive. Graphics is not the most important thing in a game which is why the Wii's largely inferior graphics doesn't mean squat if the games are good. With the improvement of graphics and now 3D, Nintendo will need to not only match, but better the current standard of graphics available now. HD graphics with the improvement of technology must be considered the standard.

There is one thing I am sure of though. Nintendo have some of the most experienced people in and around gaming. They have been doing this for more than 25 years and are still on top of their game and the market, despite what some pockets of competition users say. The Wii is the leading selling console because of the way it's developed, marketed and the software that comes with it. I am sure that the next console Nintendo brings out will offer something previously unseen. Nintendo will be around for a while and for every cynical Xbox or Playstation player who says the Wii is garbage, there are 20 Wii owners that say otherwise
