Wii is not a next gen games console, it's barely more powerful than an Xbox. Nintendo themselves have said they chose to do the "new thing" rather than the power thing. I'm still not convinced by it, Nintendo used to be good, then they had the gamecube which I have had for 2 years and have 5 games for it - and 3 of them are re-makes of older games.

Nah... the Wii is pretty cool. Sure the graphics aren't nearly as good as the 360 or the PS3, but it makes up for it with its gameplay, and its great price.
I'm a 360 fan, but I really wouldn't mind if Nintendo wins the console wars

Next gen doesnt only refer to graphics.
Let's also remember the case of RE4, where when a game was built specifically for the graphically weakest system to play with its strengths, it came out looking just as good as it did on the later PS2 remake. I'm not one to argue about graphics, and frankly I don't care about them much, but it's just something to think about.

Huh?
The GC has better graphical power than the PS2, but your point still remains...the PS2 version was about as good as the GC version.

What do you need 80 GBs for?! 🤨
Im guessing you dont own an XBOX 360 because demos are now more than 1GB, maps, skins, themes, XBL Arcade, saved games also take up space and not to mention if you decide to save music on your hard drive too... but the biggest problem is the OS which takes up 7GB. Now with more and more games comming out and with most of those games having downloadable content 20GB on XBOX360 isnt enough, in fact MS will soon be releasing a bigger hard drive.
On another note, I remember a few months back I read somewhere that for PS3 the Hard Drive isnt the only thing different when it comes to which package to buy. The one with 60GB will be a fully loaded console while the 20GB version will have less memory in cache and a few other things downgraded.
