Make it cheap and accessible; like what they've done with the Wii and DS.

Is it that people don't realize that the game industry is an exact science? 

What do you mean by "cheap"? That they should make a $300 console? Or even a $200 console? Here's the thing. By this time next year, the PS4 will be a $300 console. So if Nintendo makes it " cheap" they would basically be making something that is no more powerful than a PS4. And launching at a time when said PS4 has an install base of over 35-40M. 

That would be a mistake if you ask me. 

The type of audience Nintendo would be aiming at with a sub-$200 device would not be the same audience as the PS4/XBO.
