Is Wii the Final Chapter?
The Nintendo Wii eh? Who's not talking about it? Who's not playing with it? Has anyone still not heard about it?
This little beast, The Wii, has done, and still does take the world by storm! Kids play on it. Kids' parents play on it. Parents' parents play on it!!! Its not a kids' toy at all - its a toy for all humans of all ages! Is that my opinion? Not likely. Thats a fact - the kids, the middle-aged, and the oldies - they're all playing on the Wii!!!
With this enormous success, is this the extreme high point for Nintendo? Or is there more to come? Can anything beat the Wii?
Some folk assume that the next offering from Nintendo will simply be an upgraded version of the current Wii which would just need better graphics thereby matching its rivals, ps3 and xbox 360. Others might tell us to forget Nintendo's future - lets enjoy the current stupendous moment of glory, after all, judging by previous consoles from Nintendo, sales can last for up to a decade or so.
There are some rumours that say Nintendo may bring out a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy and a new title for Zelda called The Legend Of Zelda, which incidentally is for the existing Wii and thereby, not a huge step forward.
No need to point out these developments are not vastly different to what Nintendo currently offer to Joe Public.
So, do we actually know what Nintendo have in store for the future, which have nothing to do with Wii-ish things?
It seems not. And if Nintendo do have any significant developments underway they certainly ain't telling us folk just yet.
