If I may ramble to myself a little bit:
I may be in the minority (or maybe not) but I do not think it would be wise for Nintendo to try for a more traditional console. I don't want them to either. Some of you may remember how I commented on Nintendo's attitude towards third party developers, and how they wanted to stick out from the other console manufacturers and not blend in - in regards to playable games on their devices. Whereas before I may have considered that a holier-than-thou attitude, at this moment I can respect Nintendo for having that viewpoint. Offering gamers a unique experience should arguably ensure Ninty a place in the market; no matter if it is a big or small one. I am not sure how well they would compete if they developed a similar rig to that of Sony and MS. That isn't to say that they would be incapable; I just think that 3 companies fighting over the same pie (+PC) cannot all win. Ninty would have to spend more money to ensure third party releases and higher specs, and I do not think their slice of pie would be large enough to cover that expense satisfactorily (in comparison to their current stance). Can I refer to the GameCube when I make this statement?
There is my opinion ^^^^
