Nintendo
Is anyone else following this? I have to say that I'm pretty excited for a new Nintendo console with less *waggle* and games that don't look like a blurry mess on a native HD display.

I'll buy it for a Zelda game then sell it, just like I did with the Wii.

I fear Nintendo's shoehorning itself into the family/kids game segment may hurt their chances of making waves with an HD console.

Haven't bought a Nintendo console since Super Nintendo. Don't plan on buying one again.

The other day my girlfriend and I were fake-bickering back and forth and we kept shouting over eachother. At one point I just screamed "WAGGLE TO PET TIGER!" at the top of my lungs.
I won. |

"More powerful than Xbox 360 and PS3" means it will be outdated as soon as their successors hit the market.
Otherwise, it sounds exactly like a Dreamcast. |

The new nintendo console will be as powerful or slightly more powerful than 360 and ps3. Unfortunately, it will not have a hard drive (design choice, and a bad one). Also, the next gen playstation and xbox will be 1-3 years off at the time of release.
This poses a bit of a problem for nintendo. They're basically releasing a "1/2 gen" console that will have a very limited window to thrive before newer, more powerful units are released. I am reminded of the Dreamcast, which was followed by the ps2 and original xbox, and effectively buried. Of course, Sega ****ed up a whole lot more with my beloved DC than just the release date... and nintendo has their famous franchise games to carry them. |

I see this becoming a big hit, just like the Wii was, but I don't think that means they will become a hardcore gaming console. Like the Wii, it will sell a billion copies, but most of the games will be family oriented (and first party)...and they will stay at their original retail price forever. The PS4 and Xbox 720 will still do just fine. Also, I'm not sure how the controller will be cheap at all if it is really a 6 inch touch screen.

Wii still gets time at our house. I'm not a big gamer; since the new Super Mario and DK came out, the 360 has just been used to Netflix.

Can we unlock and root the controller pads? A touch screen with a camera, 8 buttons and 2 sticks sounds like someone just mashed everything popular together. Not sure if want.

For whatever reason, Nintendo doesn't really care if they come up "third" in the console war against Sony and Microsoft. Even if they come up #3 against PS4 and Xbox 720, they will have made plenty of profits with their low cost console (they only need to produce something marginally superior to the PS3 which can't be nearly as costly as Sony's originally undertaking of bring the PS3 to market in 2006) and have a decent head start by getting their new console to the market first. chris619 dr_wheel Full_Clip might buy Project Cafe for a new Metroid game. |

Hopefully this one will be as easy to softmod as it's predecessor.

I don't think hardware specs will really affect it. The Wii is basically dreamcast hardware right now and is holding it's own just fine against 360 and PS3 in sales. |

Wii is still number one in sales over Xbox 360 and PS3. Beyond that, it actually makes Nintendo a profit. So, how do you figure they come up third in the console war? |

Sales. The 360 and I believe the PS3 make a profit on console sales. The problem with the Wii is that a family audience is unlikely to buy many games, which is where they make most of their profits. The Wii has the lowest purchase rate for games, and this is why Nintendo lost a lot of money last quarter.
