I found this article quite interesting..

In an interview, the man from Redmond himself stated that Nintendo wasn't Microsoft's biggest competitor in the game console industry - it was Sony.

Confident in the performance turn-out of the 360 (especially after all the improvements), Bill Gates decided instead that the gauntlets should be thrown down for the similarly performing PS3.

But Clayton Christensen, a professor of Harvard Business School and author of "The Innovator's Dilemma", says that the game console industry will come to a point where games will often be technologically "good enough" for everyone. He argues that even if the Wii comes with just "good enough" graphics, it also does come coupled with an innovative (and arguably popular) controller, especially with all the excitement around the new style of gaming through the Wiimote.

Andy Grove, Intel's former CEO, cited the same book for its insights into the state of competition among tech-related companies. He believes that an "inflection point" will occur when devices become too complicated or too feature-rich. Nothing better is gained anymore than what is really needed. But he argues that such a point will be hard to determine and even harder to predict. If Nintendo correctly predicted that the industry has reached an inflection point, well they're going to have a field day while Sony and Microsoft move shop.

Our team feels that Nintendo's focus into innovation, rather than muscle, is a bold and much needed spur to the industry to provide us with more ways to interact with a game, rather than how good a game looks. Immersion is a key element to a good game, but it's a two-sided relationship: the player's interaction with the game and the game's visuals and audio drawing the player into its midst.

So the Wii got one part right...and the PS3 and 360 got the other part right. It's only a matter of time before a game is no longer just a game - it's an experience. And what an experience it's going to be...

Probably not, but it will be a good gaming system nonetheless.

Lol FANGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL!!! :lol: But yeah, no chance of it just because of the specs, the Wii, I'm no doubt going to love when I eventually get it, but I'm pretty sure that it won't beat the PS3 or 360.... That's kinda how Nintendo's been, making great systems for cheaper than its competitors, but not beating them in the long run, but still making a hell of a good system that millions of people love.

Judging by the upcoming games, I'd say no. I think it'll end up having little 3rd party support like the GameCube. Poor suckers that got fooled into buying it just because the DS is pretty successful. They don't realize that the minigame BS, doesn't hold up on home consoles.

The Wii is fun no doubt...but I have already played all three consoles and...it does not stand a chance against the raw power of both the 360 and PS3...fun only goes so far, thats where the depth of the games come in, details, environments etc...so bottom line...no it won't...not even close...sorry Nintendo your not the best...yet again... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I think it will come close, Nintendo are innovating videogames and though the Wii won't beat the 360 or PS3, it will come closer than the gamecube ever did to the ps2. Just because a wider audience are buying them.

I'm just wondering what Nintendo have up their sleeve, WiiWii?
