The Wii could very well be in the name, it's a well recognised name among the 'casuals'. Moreso than Nintendo is.
Some of them know Wii but don't neccesarily know it's from Nintendo.
Anyways:
Re: What will the next gen Nintendo console have?
Controls: Better, more compact version of the Wiimote nunchuk, integrated vitality sensor, rumble, better speaker, mic and it will be touch sensitive.
Hardware : Support 1080, games run at 30/60 FPS, at least 1GB ram (2 GB if we're lucky ),at least a quad core proccessor, more powerful than PS3 but not as powerful as PS4/720 ( minimum requirements for next gen ports). backwards compatible with Wii and maybe GameCube.
Online: Very much improved over Wii, somewhere along the line of Live. Most likely free. Online social gaming will likely be a big focus of the console. Some multi-media features (NetFlix and such). Better VC. Universal Firend Codes.
Price: $250-$350.
launch Timing: 1-2 years before PS4/720. Q4 2012.
Media: HD-DVD/Blu-Ray
Branding: Super Wii Cube Entertainment System 64...who knows
Of course there will be some new kind of gimmick. I also want voice and facial recognition in the console.
