Nintendo has made a mistake on not improving the graphics and processing capability in the Wii. However we haven't seen any groundbreaking games that change the game play experience in any of the new, next generation systems. Nintendo is betting that the change won't be graphical but instead based on new peripherals such as the motion sensing Wii remote.

This remote shows ingenuity, but is not as impressive as one would think. It doesn't seem that the Wii Remote senses true 3d motion. What is meant by that (Check my Amazon profile because I discuss it on my website.) is when you swing it doesn't record the 3d position of your arm, instead it just records the swing as a slash motion in most games. That is so that when you swing you sword in Zelda: Twilight Princess the character (Link) just swings his sword. It is not like you are involved in a 3d sword battle. FPS shooters are another area where a standard controller is needed. It is too difficult to navigate the area.

The system does has its strengths. It is the best system for kids. It is the cheapest system. And Nintendo is known for making some of the best games. But for sports, online, and FPS games the X-box 360 is the better choice.
