1. most stupid nitendo fan boys will say to you that gameplay is better then graphics. that is true, but nitendo games suck. all the games from nitendo seem repeating and its seems like the same thing over and over.
That's your opinion, nothing related to facts.
2. Nitendo will lose an advantage in game libray. Because, nitendo's wii has not-up-2-date graphics compared to other systems, they will not be able to get latest pc game imports.
Nintendo will have much improved graphics with the Wii over the Gamecube. The only difference is that Nintendo is just doing a cheap upgrade, so the console won't cost an assload of money. The gameplay is what sells a system, not the awesome graphics. Plus, whatever 'lack of PC imports' occurs will be made up for by the Wii's dev-kit being incredibly easy to work with. Not to mention that since the Wii will be the cheapest of the three consoles, developers will feel like they're missing out on a major market if they don't develope for the Wii.
3. The will controller will not work for all televisions. Especially if you have a projectille tv. The one with the plastic screen, not glass.
Uh, yes it will. The movement of the controller is based entirely on internal detection and determination of location. The gismos and gadgets are in the controller, so it knows when it's tilted at a certain angle or whatever, and sends that feedback wirelessly to the console, which then responds appropriately based on how the game you're playing works. It has nothing to do with what TV you use.
4. Wii seems like it will have 2 many driving, tennis, and baseball games, compared to the demand for fps games.
Nintendo is making a new Metroid game that will be a first person adventure game. There's all sorts of games in the works that will make full use of the fact that the controller can easily be used as a 'gun-like' weapon. Not only that, but you're just putting in an opinion right here. Nothing is as it 'seems'.
5. 4 players on will will be extremley difficult. Especially if you have a small tv.
Not really. But then again, Playstation has never had more than 2 players (I don't know or care if the 3rd incarnation of the console will have 4), and Xbox already requires an HDTv in order to view graphics at their full capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if PS3 was the same. It'd be no different than any other system on a small screen with four players, when you're controlling the game you don't HAVE to stand up and prance around like an idiot. You can get quite comfortable on the couch and probably move in less pronounced ways for the same effect.
Basically, none of your conclusions or theories hold water.
