Quote: "The WII has survived, and will survive on the core foundation of it's market, which consists of people who don't own, or don't intend to own another console. See Nintendo have this strange, alien thing called market loyalty. DS owners have their gaze fixed on the 3DS, Wii owners are using the machine - not gazing at Konnect with their 'lad' in their hand as if it's the next big thing, if anything, Konnect is one up from a bloody web cam! Get over it!.
I own all the current consoles, PSP, DS, Wii, PS3, 360... they all have their place, and their market. The only consoles bickering are the PS3 and 360 - leave them to it, because your grandma doesn't care, she's got her DS and/or WII and her world is not rocked at all. That's what will keep Nintendo going, not the next big technological leap, but the core fact that a lot of people who don't play videogames, play Nintendo games regardless. I know more post-middle-aged women who play their DS every day, than I know PS3 owners, I have yet to even meet a Konnect owner. Reel that neck back in, Nintendo will be just fine."
That's what attracts me to other consoles is the social factor. It's not a bad thing to own a Wii, but when you own a Wii,
you own a Wii. I mean people attack each others consoles over specs and things like that, but I like the Wii, even if it's a Wii and, if all my friends would had bought it, so would I. I am attracted to the social thing, because it's such a huge factor of most consoles, except the Wii.
I never felt the Wii had that variety factor of social games true social games that didn't involve birthday style games. To me it always felt like "I own a Wii, therefore I play Super Smash Bros and Mario games." There good games, but I like all games and there creators from indie, to Valve, to Halo, and a good adventure game, just anything in general. Which is why the Wii didn't appeal to me, because it's collection was so small.

I don't like brand loyalty when it comes to the Wii, they never think out of the box. Nintendo, if they could pull it off, would have created some nice games. Unfortunately I feel like Nintendo and the Wii are to connected, in the sense that they prevent competition, thus no innovative games were made. Basically Nintendo had a chance, but just seems lazy and copies all of there old games and people who love Nintendo buy it regardless if it's good or not.

Quote: "and the PS3 and Xbox equivalent won't bother improving much"
Yep, it's true. I like my Xbox and the PS3 is good, but motion control as a whole is a gimmick. I at least think Kinect is ok, so is move, but the problem with all motion control gaming is this is who they direct it at:
and I love my family, but I just don't want to chop off zombies head's with my sister or head shot another person with my mom. Thus this leads to
generic pastel colored family games, like "Sports" and "Wave your arms like dumba**". I would like both sides, but every company that has ever done motion control seems to think the best market plan is to keep it for them selves and not encourage 3rd party devs.
