When the Wii was first release all it needed to sell it was the fact that it had motion control to interact with the game. In the passing years, it has been reported that about 60% of all Wii owner don't play there Wii anymore. There's a good reason for this, here are some of the things that Nintendo can do if they want to improve the Wii to compete with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
1. DLC (There's no reason that the Wii can't have DownLoadable Content. The Wii lets the user to use up to 32gb SD card for storage.)
2. Play DVD ( Nintendo had stated it would take more then a firmware update to play DVDs; but hackers of the Wii prove this wrong. Nintendo also stated that the Wii is gaming system and not multimedia system, Nintendo needs to redefine their system now that netflix was release on it.)
3. Online Gaming (Sure the Wii has online gaming; but its crap in compressing to the Xbox and Playstation. With no setup servers on Nintendo part, online is left up to the manufacturer of the game.)
4. Exclusives (Probably the Wii has the most exclusives games on the market to date, but their crap. Nintendo take a page from Microsoft and Sony's book and throw some money at game manufacturer to get some great game on your system.)
5. Give a dam (This point ties into my last point, my Brother and I feel that Nintendo has attitude of just not caring who manufacturer games for there console. Nintendo mono is if you manufacturer for are system that great and if you don't, will we don't care.)
There's a bunch of thing the Wii can do, only if Nintendo took time and money to work on it.

PlayStation Move over for Project Natal
These are some of my thoughts on the PlayStation move and why it might fail, compare to the Xbox Project Natal. 2006 a new gaming system that would change the video gaming industry forever was release onto the world. The Nintendo Wii did that very thing that it promise by delivering a new way to play video games. The 2010 holiday season will bring Sony's Move, there answer to the Wii. How does this change the video gaming industry like the Wii did? It doesn't, the controller is the same size and shape as the Wii controller, and it has a ugly ball on top, its nothing new! Now lets look at Microsoft answer to motion control gaming that is coming out at the same time. Why I feel that Project Natal has a chance at succeeding? Microsoft is taking what the Nintendo Wii did for the gaming industry to the next step by removing the physical controller all together. By letting the player used their body to control the game, this would aloud for a more realistic gaming experience. These reason I believe the Move won't be successful and the Project Natal will. I guess we have to wait until this fall to see who wins out.

XBOX 720
What I would like to see for the next XBOX system
1. Blu-Ray Player (I know this should go without saying, I remember when the format war was going on Microsoft said if HD-DVD lost that they would come out with a Blu-Ray add-on. The war ended in early 2008, now it April 2010 and no Blu-Ray add-on.)
2. PS3 style of replacing the hard drive (No one whats to play $130 for 250gb hard drive that they can get for about $45 on newegg that about $85 difference in price)
3. The ability to store media on to the hard drive
4. Continued with the ability to use third party USB flash drive to save data (I like this feature, the ability to store DLC, Demos, and save game on USB drive. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to use a flash drive bigger then 16gb.)
5. Quieter disc player (My 360 sounds like coffee pot making coffee when its reading from the disc player.)
6. Built in wireless card (Get with the times Microsoft every thing now has a build in wireless card in it.)
7. Internet browser (I live at a college dorm that require me to log in before you can use the internet. Which would make a hundred dollar wireless card pointless because I have to use my laptop to stream the internet to be able to connect to xbox live. If it had an internet browser I could log in and play wireless.)
8. Free online play (Most gamers would say that xbox live is the best online system out there, making it free would make it even better. For $50 a year I could buy new video game for that price. Plus the Wii and Playstation 3 have free online play.)
9. No Red Ring or 3/4 Ring of Death (don't rush the 720 out to market before the other systems to make profit, Take your time with it Microsoft!)
Now I know some of these thing you can do with the PlayStation 3 already and Microsoft would be smart to include these features in there next system. Lets just hope that Microsoft doesn't name it XBOX 720!
