It will flop sooo hard...unless they don't make it cheap, and I seriously doubt it considering how they usually overprice their hardware.


Overprice their hardware? They are the only company consistently developing NEWER technologies with their hardware (color handheld, split screen handheld, 3d handheld, gamecube could run 3d was just too expensive, virtual boy, gamepad, etc) and yet their products STILL are cheaper than that of the competition despite the competition pretty much only increasing ram/hardrive/graphics cards.

that would mean something if nitendo would also increase their ram/harddrive/graphics card, but since they don´t do that it´s normal that they are cheaper

The SNES doubled what the NES did in terms of bits. The N64 went WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND what the SNES was capable of doing and introduced 3d rotation. The Gamecube games looked BEAUTIFUL compared to the choppy N64 games. The Wii (I will give you) didn't advance much on the gamecube in terms of graphics but some of those later Wii games look breathtaking (Skyward Sword, Xenoblade). The Wii U is probably the biggest jump in graphical quality ever for a Nintendo system. 

So ONE console didn't advance much in graphics and you say they never do? LOL!



I don't see it getting anywhere as big as Skylanders, Nintendo is way too late to the party.
