Yeah I'm thinking this is one of the cold, hard lessons Nintendo learned the hard way this gen. They probably will switch over to ARM CPUs across the board next time around (ditching IBM's dated CPU) for one. 

I'm sure that Nintendo's handhelds will stick with ARM CPUs, but I'm not so sure about consoles. They'll probably go for x86 CPUs for their consoles like Sony and Microsoft are doing right now.

I actually don't think so. And I don't think they will even try to compete with MS/Sony. Using the same ARM CPU across the board will save them big time in costs and R&D and will scale down in cost extremely quickly. It will also allow for very easy multi-plat home and portable versions of the same game.
