1) Very important, I agree

2) Also important. I don't, however, think Nintendo will pull this off with much finesse right away. Sony and Microsoft have years of experience, it's going to take a long time for Nintendo to get something rolling.

3) As much as I support Nintendo, there is no way they're getting good third party support unless outside factors really change the game up. There is nothing Nintendo can do themselves to change anything.

4) I feel like the support relationship pulls more in the opposite direction than you'd suggest. I think Nintendo sees a weakening market and moves on before the whole market collapses and they're left behind.

5) They won't have an issue here, so this one's in the book.

A big advertisment campaign
Nintendo games that push the grafix
new gameplay mechanics unique for the system
moneyhat every 3rd party dev around the globe.... ;)

I think those are good points actually.

I still think that bet for a launch price of $250 it's offensive towards nintendo

I think the most important thing is good third party support from the start. If that happens then game on!

That pretty much covers it lol

SUCCESS!

I don't know about soon lol
