Wow.... basically Nintendo did a 180 on their console design philosophy.
"the company's goal was to select a "simple RISC architecture" to help speed development of games by making it easier on software developers. IGN reported that the system was "designed from the get-go to attract third-party developers by offering more power at a cheaper price. Nintendo's design doc for the console specifies that cost is of utmost importance, followed by space.""
Nintendo... its time... to go back to your roots.
