I mean, people will wait to see how it goes- might not be a huge release... But once they have a few games that are really... revolutionary, then people will buy them like hotcakes, I imagine.

You make a good point, but think about it; it was the original and biggest demographic. After that comes the older gen and girls (no disrespect to the women. at all. much love. please don't stab me.) but most kids from those ages can't afford higher prices!

Yeah, but since nintendo isn't going with expensive HD dvd drives or Blu-Ray DVD drives, it should be the cheapest system in the next gen.
So, the price thing could easily backfire- especially if nintendo can put out things that appeal to all types. A good metroid, a good Zelda- I would play those anyday on this new system over most things on the other machines.
Yasser:
the only reason to buy a Nintendo console is for Nintendo games, their 3rd party support is almost non-existant, so it'll be interesting to see how they develope games to take advantage of the controller (which i don't really like, i prefer the boomerang double dildo for ps3)

I have been party to some long rant/discussions in which it has been concluded that the stagnation in the industry comes down to the homogenous gamer demographic. Kudos to Nintendo for looking to the future and trying to mix things up, as opposed to the inbreeding that results from the short-sighted make-a-buck-immediately approach of most companies.

Figured I would link to this- a rather good essay speculating about nintendo's ideas for this console- http://lostgarden.com/2005/09/nintendos-genre-innovation-strategy.html
