[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2938550, member: 19696"] Here's the problem with your first point. In a couple of years, the tech in the PS3 will be obsolite enough that there will probably be another generation of consols out there. Now, your second point has some validity. Extra storage will eliminate multi-disk games, and potentialy allow for add-ons and bonus material to be included (Heck, think Movie game and the movie on one disk). However, with Highres graphics, everything else will be bigger as well, so you may get less use out of the storage than you think. And that leads you back to point A. Personaly, I like Nintendo's thinking on the Wii. "Let's ignore what the hardcore gaming comunity wants, because we want to reach out to all audiences." So, launcing at $200-250, the new Wii will have 480P, so will look pretty good even on the new TVs, but you won't be loosing much on an older one, and you're not paying for the high end expensive gear you need to make things look pretty one one. Then, design a controler that will interest the general public, and hopefully make some games more intuitive and engulphing experience. Finaly, let's offer our old library of games to be played on this consol as well. I think Nintendo is going to rock the market, and Sony is only hurting itself. With the price, and the way people need to stretch their entertainment dollar, I think the Wii is in a position to make a potential killing. [/QUOTE]
