he probably meant ripoff as in 'overpriced' rather than 'copied'

Lets just face it, there is nothing stopping the Wii, it is almost at the point where its sales would still be higher than the 360 and PS3 combined, I dont think Natal has the potential to boost the 360 high enough too]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/They could certainly do a refresh of the hardware, adding AT LEAST upscaling to 720/1080 with hdmi outputs.

If they did this, plenty of people who already own a Wii would go out and buy another one.]]>Feb 25th 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
and if motion controls are so lame and pointless like all the self proclaimed "hardcore gamers" claim, why are their beloved Sony and Microsoft trying to copy Nintendo a whole 3 years later?

and just because the graphics aren't bleeding edge doesn't mean you can't have fun playing it. i just picked up SSX Blur for Wii. it came out in 2007 and i still think its a pretty damn fun.]]>Feb 25th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/

Sorry Nintendo. You were great at the time, but your console simply doesn't have the staying power to endure this generation. And you should have known this and been ready with a mid-gen update.

Sad.]]>Feb 25th 2010 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
No offense to Cammie Dunaway, but she doesn't play videogames ... she looks at sales numbers and that's it. You can tell at every E3 event. It looks like she practiced a day or two before she has to talk about the product.

Nintendo doesn't seem to think exponentially, they think linear.
Tech is exploding and demand is growing. Look at how TVs have changed in the past decade and compare that to the previous fifty years.]]>Feb 25th 2010 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
I'll probably get Metroid: Other M, but what I really want to do is to buy a PS3 next month.

I love Nintendo, I grew up playing their systems and their games, but if they think the Wii can stand up past another year they've lost it. The controller is top notch, it's pleading and begging for some first person shooter love, but it's not getting it.

The Wii NEEDS better graphics. I don't care if they're playing to the wider audience or not, this is the single factor killing it. Why would I want to play a wii sports game where the characters don't even have legs when I could play something mind blowing on another system?

The Wii is NEVER going to get any decent games with the power it currently contains. The Wii NEEDS to be updated. I was there on launch day getting a Wii, I had high hopes....and now I haven't turned the damn thing on in maybe a year.]]>Feb 25th 2010 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 26th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
However, the Wii could use a small update like offering HD graphics (while keeping everything else the same) so all current games look better, even the Virtual Console titles. That's all I really want, high definition graphics.]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
I started out as a "graphics don't matter" Wii guy. Then I got my 65" Toshiba DLP. The XBOX360 Looks splendid on it. ]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
Why is HD necessary? It's not hurting it one bit. ]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
The 360s GPU is the precursor to the Geforce 7800... and the vast majority have upgraded one or two generations above that long ago.

Even my PS3 plays VERY few titles at 1080P (most are 720P) w/ obvious object draw and AA/AF limitations.

I don't see why they can't release a similar architecture but modernized version of each console w/ a simple identifier on the games for backwards compatibility. PC games can scale just fine on thousands of machines, and this only needs to scale on two different systems. =(]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
You do realize that just because most HD titles on the ps3 are not in 1080p does not mean it cant handle it, right? The resolution and other graphics settings such as anti-aliasing can affect the size of the game, and as many dont have 1080p TV's developers may not see it as necessary.]]>Feb 25th 2010 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
Actually neither console can handle rendering a game in 1080p, the tech is too old. Resolution and anti-aliasing do not affect the size of the game.]]>Feb 25th 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
As long as the games and other content are enjoyable, I don't see that necessarily as a problem.

Their bottom line doesn't seem to either :)...]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
Weren't they the first to release motion controlled games (this gen) and the others are just now trying to achieve the same?

Wouldn't that negate the "same tech over and over" comment?]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/Feb 25th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/

"Yet their fanbase generally refuses to call them on it. Further, they release the same tech over and over and the fanboy types eat it up."

For a minute there I thought you were talking about Apple. i.e. iPod touch XL]]>Feb 25th 2010 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
I agree on the psp front, but not on the others. The 360 and ps3 releases are different models. I don't see that the same as how the ds line is more or less the same thing with minor tweaks. Different HD sizes and such for people to choose a price point they can meet isn't the same at all. ]]>Feb 26th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/

I WANT THE NEW Wii AND THE NEW DS TO LAUNCH AT THE SAME TIME.

What I would really hope for in the next DS is a sim card slot. Gaming on my iPhone has shown me the effect of being constantly connected to the internet in portable gaming.

Wow, I had no idea the US still had no black Wii! Thats pretty crap.

TBH, I'd guess that 70% of people who purchased a Wii have gotten bored of it, I've bought 2 as prezzies (both for girls) and neither are used very often. The graphics are poor by 2005 standards, if MS and Sony can capture the marked gained by the Wii then bye bye Nintendo.]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/nintendos-dunaway-no-wii-successor-anytime-soon/
