Natal and PS3…is Wii irrelevant?

Our expectations for Xbox360 were finally confirmed yesterday with the announcement of the motion detecting technology, Natal. I think its safe to say that if it works as demonstrated, it blows away those expectations. This raises an important question, especially for penny pinching, time-crunching college students like myself: Should we hold off on or sell our Wiis now? As a former Nintendo fanboy its funny to hear myself saying this, but the only reason the Wii was even worth keeping around was the fun social aspect of the motion controls. Now that 360 is going to incorporate motion controls AND have good graphics, is there really any reason for a mature gamer to have a Wii? I’m going to say that unless Nintendo unveils an amazing new Zelda and Mario this year, then no(Update: they revealed a Mario game…okay). The only reason for mature gamers to have a Wii once Natal is out is to play a couple a few kick ass first-party titles that are more and more rare lately(as well as becoming older and older). Hate to be so hard on Nintendo, but they have totally let me down and I’m glad Xbox has stepped up to the plate. What do you all think?

Update: After reading about the Nintendo Presser and seeing the Sony event, I’m even more confident that The Wii is finished. The best they had was a vitality sensor and an old school-new school Mario game, really? They shouldn’t even market it as a videogame console anymore. It’s going from a little kids’ system to a system for the out of shape and the elderly. Sony is stepping up to the plate as well, and now that we have motion controls on systems with current age graphics, is there any reason why a person above the age of 12 with the choice to get only one system would get a Wii?
