I would stamp Nintendo logo into a PS3, make it white and give it motion controls and double ram and reading speed. Voila Wii 2

this console would compete win the APPLE PIPPEN , for the number one spot of less sold unit ever, the record now is 42,000 LTD WW, fallowed by the cd-i that was US$700 in 1991. 

As said before the ps3 with 1gb of ram and a new nv card would be the perfect console and of course the XBL online support because sony if sucking hard there right now( socom confrontaion and LBP online suck). But before releasing such console i'll ask borland and sun microsystems to create the SDK , borland makes nice dev eviroments(just the design for the rad, not compiler) and sun has java with amazing libreries, am not saying they should put java in the SDK just creat libs that are just a usefull and simple to use. All that because i think after price, the game daleys are killing the ps3 since its release.

That is a PC, so why would i buy this console? and why would i pay yo to cook my own food myself?

the wiimote, a ps3 controller, ps3 graphics, ps3's online + 360's online userbase.

more platformers

It doesn't need to sell much. I forgot to mention, that I'll only produce one unit, which I keep to myself :P

Have a nice time playing Indie games then MUHAHAHA !!!!!

Simple steps for success. Make it as powerful as possible while sticking under $400 MSRP. If you don't think you can launch it at that price, you need to scale back the specs. Also, make sure that you can line up as many 3rd party comapanies as possible, getting them to sign contracts if need be. No matter how great the system is, it can't succeed without numerous games, many of which need to be excellent games.

am with this guy

 Net Yaroze (ps1) offered something similar and it wasn't half bad, there were some classics on that console. This time, we'll just make it more wide open and offer better distribution.

i might sound stupid for this, but..

i'd make a system with cheap-tastic n64-gc hardware, with a decent sized hardrive, and all the games would be bought and downloaded of the internet. the system would be about 50 bucks and the games would be 5-20(depending on size, quality, ect)

^It wouldn't be my first system of choice but could be a nice system to have to complement the main one. It would be nice if it had some great fun downloadable games. Also, while N64 graphics pale in comparison to what is out there today, some games could look great if they utilize good artwork and style.
