It is disappointing to see them frame these ideas in industry terms. The Wii's effective declaration of independence from industry norms allowed them to go far, but with drawbacks in terms of an even deeper third party rejection than GameCube experienced
Now they're running a different game with different risks. They need Wii-like success in front-loading this thing with wide-appeal killer apps, and then they should get the third party parity necessary to carry them through software droughts, and then this device would become what the Wii should have been had the industry reoriented itself around it, but the risk of course is that they can't sell this idea to the mass market, then it's GameCube all over again
Though as a gamer i'd be fine with GameCube all over again, Nintendo is in a precarious position until they show what kinds of software they're putting out here
