I just skimmed through most of your OP. I will read more in depth later tonight. I just had to comment on the graphics. Nintendo will definitely make it better graphics. They realize that graphics aren't everything (every video game console producer should realize this considering the most powerful system hasn't been the highest selling console for that generation since the 16-bit era even then you had the Neo Geo during that generation, actually I don't even think the most powerful system has ever won a generation in home or handheld consoles). I am sure they can achieve PS3 level graphics without adding a premium to the final price. They should at least focus on getting it to or past PS3 graphics. Then 3rd party companies can port their older games onto the system with minor updates. Granted previous generation ports shouldn't be what Nintendo should be focusing on getting from 3rd party companies for their new system. However, the 3rd party company can make a decent profit due to not having to put too much effort into porting it thus maybe having them want to develop some original titles for the system in the future. Nintendo has shown that they don't really need that much 3rd party support, yet it couldn't hurt to have more good 3rd party support.
