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. 

Ok maybe cheap isn' the word I was looking for.. affordable, it is then. I mean, the guys at Nintendo know they can't compete with Sony and Microsoft with their home consoles, so why bother try enter the power race. The reason why they were so successful before was because their unique hardware and software on their consoles. Also, they were priced well from launch. If Nintendo released a $400 console now, with better specs than a PS4, it would tank. Probably even more so than the Wii U.
