Nintendo is milking this generation and they're not giving anything back to the consumer in terms of a quality product.
I've never disagreed with your assessment.
I disagree with the notion Nintendo hasn't done anything this generation.
Its been a weak year, but doesn't take away the gems such as TP, Corruption, Galaxy, Brawl, Kart, Strikers Charge, etc.

My problem has been they blew their wad too early. Third parties haven't jumped on in huge numbers. (Scary tangent, but the Wii now has a higher install base worldwide than the Ps3 and 360 combined so selling to even a smaller portion of the Wii audience would be a smarter decision than selling to a larger portion of either of the other two consoles)

I think 09 will be the year the Wii really shines as the line-up in my opinion is finally coming together with a solid slate of first and third party affairs.

But lets not just make this a Nintendo thread.

What does everyone think of the PS3? Now that I have it, I enjoy the console. I got into the Home Beta yesterday and I could honestly say I HATE it, its too grand... too complex for its own good.
