It's scary. I'm not sure I want any part of it. This is going to be like being pushed into cold water for a lot of the 'core' market Nintendo seems to want back. I understand kind of why they're being this way but I'm not sure they can have both worlds.

Hopefully they'll tone it down as the console gets a broader audience and as Nintendo gets more feedback and more familiar with this new setup.

Possibly.  Nintendo has to be a lot more careful about blacklash that Sony or Microsoft, though.  "My kid saw a penis on Xbox" wouldn't make the 6 o'clock news but "my kid saw a penis on Nintendo" would.  That's unfair in a way, though it's an image Nintendo themselves cultivated.  There are a lot of parents out there who believe that Nintendo isn't -supposed- to have anything not geared toward children.

If Nintendo wants both worlds, they're going to have to slowly change the culture of the system somewhat, I agree with you there, but they run the risk of alienating people on both sides before they reach that point.  It might be a bumpy ride for them.
