Anyone know where this is actually from

Backward capability is not important for this generation gaming. The is a drastic difference from graphics and gameplay from last gen to this gen. People with a ps3 won't say "hey, let me get that ps2 or ps1 game for my ps3"

I disagree, Backwards compatibility is very important to people. If you have a whole catalogue of games then you want to play them on the one console. What about games that are in a series? MGS for example. People will buy the new one and then maybe want to re visit the previous games. I can assure you they'd much rather play it on the beast of a machine they have set up already, rather than drag out their crappy old console that's half eaten by moths.

Let's go to the wii. What has the wii to offer?

-Laughable last generation graphics (compared to the 360 or ps3)

-No HD capability, which in a couple of years is going to be EVEN bigger than it is now.

-They will rely on the 10000000 zelda and mario games they put out.

Fair points but a bit too dramatic. The graphics are in no way competition to 360 and PS3, but they are still good enough.

No HD, enough said. I agree it's terrible.

Another valid point mate, they are relying a lot on he classics but so do the other consoles. Lets not forget they haven't been around anywhere near as long as Nintendo either. However I do have some faith in them and I hope some bigger dev's will bring in some great new titles.

Face it, the wii is done for once people get bored of its new controller. And in ALL my experiences playing the wii (different ones) that controller was buggy as hell. The one thing that will give the wii another popularity boost is smash bros.

By the end of 2008, the wii will have its console for sale at 125$ with smash bros included. That alone will not lead it to victory in the console war. It's out.

The classic library you mentioned is quite frankly an attempt for more buyers. Emulators are free.

I just don't think the Wii is done for, it seems to have a lot of potential and in the Homebrew communities also. There main problem is games, if they can get that sorted then they are flying.
