@ryanwho: I realize you are likely just trolling, but the problem here is from what was shown, this doesn't appear to be anymore powerful than the 360/PS3, and Nintendo isn't helping by refusing to give out specs. So what is being presented is a Wii on par with a console I already own, but with the same gimmick based controllers, a new gimmick based controller, and no games that make me see it as a must buy. So the idea this is going to be superior to the 360/PS3 does not as of yet have any supporting evidence. Adding a touch screen doesn't mean this consoles version will be the superior one. In fact that controller doesn't look like it would be comfortable to use when compared to a traditional pad, so it may be better on a 360/PS3 because they decided to add in a gimmicky controller.
Continuing support for the Wii remote and nunchuck isn't a very good thing either. At the very least they should offer up improved versions. Maybe a analog stick for the remote or something and built in motion plus.
I don't know what they should have done, but this isn't winning me back to the Wii brand, and I was ready to fully support a new Nintendo console. Instead.. this is just weird. If I do buy it, I have a feeling it will just end up collecting dust like my Wii already does. Heck, when it isn't collecting dust I am likely playing Skies of Arcadia, or Ocarina of Time on it. A Wii playing a Gamecube port of a Dreamcast title, or a Wii playing a Gamecube port of a N64 title, using a Gamecube Wavebird controller I might add. Guess how often I do that?
