I now realise what Nintendos plan was this whole time. First off, stay away from the HD war and go your own way. Perhaps building a fan base along the way. Build a cheap but fun console that will draw people in, and make as much money as possibe.
When the time comes, use that money to build the next generation console that will blow people away, bringing your fan base with you. Build it at a time when the other console makers are unable to provide much of a compitition. And finally get your product out there first, let the customers see your console and when the other consoles catch up. The customers will see that their is not much of a difference and might as well go for the cheaper version with a larger library of games.....pure genious.
