Anyone wondering if Nintendo is considering that for their next system?

I'd personally love for Nintendo to go back to solid state, but it's not happening next gen.  They'll have Panasonic deliver a customized Blu-ray solution, with Wii DVD backward compatibility, and still no movie playback. ;)

Nah.

2.5 times the power of 360/PS3.

Solid state game format.

20GB internal storage.

No backwards compatibility.

No moving parts.

$150 US launch price.

Get ready for the truth...

1.5x PS3/360 in real world performance (though the raw specs may undersell this).  Only 512MB RAM.

Blu-ray disc format. No movie playback (lol).

8GB flash drive (expandable via SD).

Full Wii controller/software backwards compatibility.  Transition path for Virtual Console/some WiiWare.  No GC controller/software compatibility (get ready for 1500 point downloads on VC and a $20 "GameCube Classic Controller").

More moving parts than your grandma.

$299 US launch price.
