I do not think that NIntendo will launch with online games. I do think that they will have a more solid online plan though. Only Wavebird-type controllers (probably not)?

I'd guess that they would have between 10-15 games at launch. I believe that Nintendo will move up to a regular sized dvd because of the advantage of space.

I think they will smarten up and get a Mario game out for launch, with perhaps a Zelda game following shortly after launch. I would expect nothing less from them after seeing GC's (not-the-best) launch.

EDIT: Also, I believe Nintendo will continue to stray away from their "quality over quantity" policy (in referance to 3rd party games). They are seeing this already during GC's lifetime, I think they are finally seeing that you need a wide database of games (even if half of them are crappy).

I also think Nintendo will stay true to it's statement that it is not a home entertainment console (no dvd playback, no extra stuff) and be a pure videogame console.

Ok, I'm done, what do you guys think?
