Project Katana (Red Steel) - Wii

If you still have the presentation you should sue them claiming they stole your work from you! ;p

But seriously, we are a ways off from truely maxing out our ICs anyway.

Unfortunately MottzZilla, I neither have the capital to start litigations against a giant such as Intel, neither do original ideas of my presentation amount to a patent or even more so, a copyright.

Many people have invented the same thing in different parts of the world - he who got it first at the patent office was the one who usually won the case :(

Nintendo specialise in games. I don't see why they don't drop the home console hardware market and just continue with handhelds and producing software as a third party.

I predict this will happen after the Wii.

Taucias, I find your lack of faith distrurbing (with a very deep voice as well)

Ditto. Nintendo needs to keep creating consoles. Infact it's never once been Nintendo's fault because they couldn't create good games. It's always been SOMETHING with their systems after SNES. N64 didn't have mass storage of CD-ROM discs. GameCube again, had insufficant disc storage (roughly 1.3gb isn't enough space really). Both systems were powerful though. The Wii now is under powered, but because the idea is to make it ready for mass consumption sooner rather than later.

My only concern is how long they can get by on the Wii's relatively weak hardware in comparison, and if they'll be ready to take it to the next level and pull it off. I think for the first year atleast, the Wii's comparitively weak hardware won't hamper it. But it's the time after that which is worrysome.
