There are still too much unknowns at this point to safely talk about Cafe and it`s success - or not.
There´s no price point, no strategy (business and online wise) and no games.
Still, i believe that Cafe will successful. Nintendo has a strong presence amongst non-gamers/casual gamers and it has games like Mario Kart, Wii Sports and New Super Mario Bros, that strongly resonate with that market. Although that market is far from won, Nintendo knows how the market thinks and might reach success that way.
The biggest IF seems to be: can Nintendo reach the core market? If Nintendo can bring the same kind of games (minus the exclusives) that MS and Sony bring to their consoles, then, Nintendo has a great chance. But as i said before, that`s actually the biggest IF.
My greatest expectation actually relies on the remote itself and my vision of how it will be and what it will permit. I don`t really care that much for visuals or online, but that`s just me.
