I think Nintendo is too afraid of the gamecube... The gamecube was more powerful than the ps2 and had the best controller at the time as well as it inspired the 360 controller... It really was just a gaming system that had everything that a "hardcore" gamer needed but it didn't sell... So I think Nintendo will never try to make a "plain" console ever again..
But I do wonder what the successor would be... Clearly the Tablet is not enough and so isn't motion controls and they have to make it powerful enough to be competitive... It will be interesting for sure
But do not get your hopes up... Its better to not get hyped and get wowed but get hyped and be dissappointed
Edit: Well, I may as well say this... By hardcore, I mean compared to the wii
