Nintendo's next console won't be x86 based. I would bet $100 on it.
It will be an ARM mobile CPU (v8) and an AMD low-power (consumption) mobile part which will allow for Wii U quality graphics (perhaps with better lighting/shader effects and more RAM) on a handheld. The home version will be the same chip overclocked with more CPU/GPU cores and more RAM for 1080p play at home.
Even on the GameCube ... Nintendo had most of the same third party games as the XBox and PS2 ... it just didn't help. That audience is owned by Sony/MS, there's not a lot Nintendo can do to win them back.
They need a way to expand their appeal in a different way.

I thought this thread was about what they should do? Not what will happen.

Even if it was x86 based ... so what? Why is the average American/British/German kid going to buy the Nintendo console over the Sony or MS console where all their friends play? The Gamecube tried this approach and failed.

The problem with Gamecube was it was it looked dorky, had a shitty controller, and did not have many games. |
I'm sorry. When a controller survives 3 generations. It's not shitty for the majority.
