Nintendo probably has something prepared or hurry up and prepare something, but they will save it for their next console, since this is proof the others guys can do Nintendo's game and maybe even make it better. If Nintendo pulls another "blue ocean thing" Sony and Microsoft will have to upgrade mid-cycle again or half ass it like the six axis fiasco.

Yep. One blazed the trail, has been shipping for over 2 years now, and is still selling like gangbusters.

The other is a "we gotta get some of that too" product with no ship date and no price.

They're in this for the money off of the software licensing not the hardware sales. There is much more profit in the software than the hardware. So yes if they're sitting around collecting dust then no residual license fees coming in.]]>Jun 8th 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/
Without game sales, console sales don't help Microsoft or Sony. Nintendo makes a nice hefty chunk on every console thanks to tech almost a decade old, circa game-cube era. The only high tech is in the controllers which Nintendo recovers thanks to a high retail price. All the games Nintendo does or doesn't sell is just all gravy.]]>Jun 8th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/
Nintendo is making money on all hardware. That means the Wii, Wiimotes, plastic mario kart shells. All of it. How many soccer moms do you think bought extra controllers for all her kids? MS and sony do peripherals too, but Nintendo is king there. On top of all that the 50 million consoles attract developers who buy liscences. They still get a hefty chunk from game sales.

Saleswise, yeah, Nintendo won this gen by a lot. It's kind of insane actually how badly they shut down MS and Sony. I still play my 360 more though.]]>Jun 8th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/
Completely disagree with you on that. MS and Sony have to go into a new market and try to cope with it and re-invent it on their consoles. Nintendo on the other hand has the console that supports motion as well as software titles that do. Their only shortcoming is the image quality. Since Nintendo has had all this success in sales and profits and for a really long time, they must have developed something for the future or at least worked on ideas. It is a smart move for them to wait for the competition to announce their plans.

Now Nintendo only has to push a little forward. They can slightly improve on their controllers to be better than Sony's. Although MS's are still better, Xboxes are still aimed at the hardcore gamer and not someone's granma. Also very young children will still love the Wii more since it gives them ingame control that doesn't require them reading a manual or practicing key combinations that aren't already part of their muscle memory.

As for the hardware, Tegra anyone (just a thought). Well probably not Tegra but my point is here also Nintendo only needs to upgrade with something that is cheaply available nowadays. To come to the Xbox's level the Wii can add some graphics and will unlikely add Blueray since downloads are catching up. This is enough to get in a larger demographic than the one Nintendo covers today. To get a view of what hardware can be added to the Wii, take at look at low-end to mid-range notebooks that play games and consider you have better than that in the Wii because you won't be paying for an LCD screen, a battery + charger, and a plethora of ports and hardware standards.

Don't forget that the technology used in motion control is built in-house and this is where all the weight lifting happens. However graphics capabilities are bought from external sources. So internal engineering is way less. For now MS and Sony have to reinvent the wheel while Nintendo has to push forward incremental improvements. That's my opinion and they can have more in store.]]>Jun 9th 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/Jun 8th 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/Jun 8th 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/Jun 8th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/miyamoto-not-worried-at-all-about-sony-and-microsofts-motion/
