Interesting decision to pack everything into a MCM "no matter what". It sounds like console size was an important factor decided in early development. It is more than a little worrying to see everything crammed tightly into such a tiny case, though. Still, I want to believe that Nintendo took reliability very seriously.
It's going to be a hot little box, and failure rates will almost certainly go up from the Wii, but Nintendo has a good track record.
I remain somewhat concerned about that CPU and the GPU-focused design. This could ultimately be a bottleneck when the next generation kicks into full-gear. I hope they ran this design by major third-party developers during development.
