Not really, as the system doesn't give something new, the controller does...

And technically the controller could be used on any system... They could have released it as a controller for the Gamecube if add-ons sold well and were actually used by developers

But since add-ons and such fail, they're basing a whole new system on it, in essence making consumers buy a whole new system for (what we hear will be) a minor graphical upgrade, and the new controller...

But eh... I'm really curious to see how it sells... Will it continue Nintendo's downward trend in sales? I remember having those debates back before GameCube came out... Nintendo fans were sure GameCube would be a success (glory days of SNES!), and I said it would probably continue Nintendo's downward trend for console sales...


Only this time instead of the Nintendo fan's arguement being "It's powerful and affordable!", it's "It has a new controller and it's affordable!!"...

This will be an interesting generation indeed... :>
