Will Nintendo debut new tech half way through this gen??

Doubt it. Nintendo has been showing they are slow to react and doing that would be a terrible mistake in the first place. So, unless they somehow plan to unite their portable and home console markets, its just not likely.

Assumptions that having a new console that is more powerful would land better support are highly unfounded. The Vita waves.

Totally agree, it wouldn't do a whole lot for Nintendo as it's only partially the problem. Like I said in the OP, their best bet going forward is to unify their handheld and home console. With 3DS coming in 2010? Maybe we'll see that sooner than they anticpated.
