[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Of course it's a great buisness plan and they are making tons of money it's just I wish Nintendo would become a forerunner in terms of visual technology too. Maybe it's too quick to jump the gun it's just I personally would like to play RE5 and GTA on the Wii with at least average next gen graphics. :(That 'Cheap' Machine is getting great media attention, new game announcments and amazing sales.
If anything - Nintendo's one smart company and they've done a good job with the Wii, althought now they need to bring out their software.

"next gen graphics" are a matter of opinion. and nintendo doesn't need to be a forerunner in visual tech. that industry will develop without nintendo, and really, they arent in a good position to. theyre a video game company, a toy company at heart, and dont have the financial backing to really make the great developments. developments that will be made regardless, and then next gen, once the control interface is refined, the visual tech will be refined for them, and will be significantly cheaper.
then they can continue providing for their newfound audience, the visuals will be better, hopefully satisfying the snobby hardcore, and they can carry on making money instead of breaking the bank like sony and Ms did with their respective consoles.
also, look into gunpei yokoi and "Lateral thinking of withered technology" the big N's strategy becomes a lot clearer.
