Lets keep in mind too a couple things about the Wii Hardware as well. The architecture of the memory system that is in place is actually a really good combination and configuration for their textures and other compliments. The system is also has the ability to incorperate new techniques implemented years down the road to keep it going.
Dont get me wrong though, more memory is always beneficial, but for what the system is doing, its one of the best configured units on the market. I am not sure where I saw this, but I did see someones idea on how nintendo could cater to bigger and badder markets in the next generation.
It was something like, when it comes time to release a newer hardware, Nintendo could use a dual support system for the hardwares. First was of course to make a new system that is backward compatible and had improved motion mechanics. (lets face it, the controller works and so it most liekly will change just a little) while keeping the Wii going strong supporting the new markets they had created with it. So as the "Core" Jump onto a newer system, Nintendo would keep that Wii going strong. Then as the "Core" reach a more saturated point, it will begin to shift over users from one system to the next. That way Nintendo would be able to keep multiple strong markets in the Console areana. Something that hasn't been done yet but came real close with the PS2. If the PS3 became as successful as Sony may of wanted, then this would of been a completly differnt race. Now, its Nintendos turn to take a shot at it and lets not forget, Nintendo does like to sit back, watch the comptetition and then improve on what they are doing.
So, we will see.
