Still the WII holds enough power and sway with the its control scheme that alone can fight the meandering 360 and the arrogant beast of sony.... (PS3 so far lacking , over priced and Sony is an arse,the 360 is a hodge podge of parts,game,media,streaming video on a 20GB HD a movie is 3-6GB so at last half of that space has to be used for streaming the other half for demos and saves..not a great move on MS's part you have to ask sometimes what where they thinking...)

If you look at their home console line, they haven't done anything like they did with Portable (Gameboy > Gameboy Color / GBA > GBA Micro / NDS > NDS Lite) I think this so called upgrade will purely be a novelty thing. The Panasonic Q was pretty much a novelty system if you ask me. sure its nice that it plays DVD and its region free, but it didn't add anything more than that right? Maybe they'll bring back the System integrated TV's I always thought that was cool back in the Super Famicom/Nintendo days :) I probably will not wait for it.

This is 2006, not 2001, having a DVD player in a console is a waste of $20 to $30 that could be put to better usage in extra accessories. True or not, who cares?
