I just hope they finally develop a profile based online system rather than tying purchases to a specific console. They have to do that this time, right? Right?

1080p, 60fps is all I want

They won't ever attract western third-parties to make exclusives for this system and multiplatform games will be pointless at this point. The only option is directly funding western studios and I don't see them doing it, I think this is a bad move and situation.

Need to see the spec it's so easy to be more powerful than ps3 right now.
Don't have much hope if people are not saying flat out it's more powerful buy 2 or 3 times.
For all we know more power could 1gb of ram and little better gpu.

Doubt it. The Wii was so underpowered comparatively that they needed a system seller (or so they thought) to hold off 360 and PS3. A converted Wii game ain't gonna fly for this one.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
If Nintendo's next console isn't considerably more powerful than the 360/PS3, what's the point?
If it's only marginally more powerful, by the time the next Sony and Microsoft consoles are released Nintendo will be in the same exact position.

How often do early reports of a systems power turn out to be correct?

I wonder what people will say when they say they don't want to play games on this system
Now it's "it looks like shit on my TV". I am guessing "it's not native 1080p, am I seriously expected to play this" in two years.

The last time Nintendo was ahead in terms of tech for home consoles was the N64.
The Gamecube and especially the Wii have been very profitable for them.
They don't need to be on the same level technologically as Microsoft and Sony because the real power behind their money making are their classic IPs, lower manufacturing costs than their competitors' products, and their strong hold on portable gaming.
Looking at this one way, this could be a calculated move to basically take advantage of the fact that Sony and MS expressed they want to stay on this cycle for another 3 years or so. Nintendo is already making tons of money with the Wii, but now that those sales have evened out they release a newer more competitive product - which I'm sure a ton of people will buy as long as there's a Mario title at launch.
Maybe the Wii was a way to earn massive amounts of money to build a competitive console for the remaining years of this gen, benefiting from the decreased manufacturing costs that their competitors only recently benefited from (last couple of years).
Maybe they know that we don't need to see Mario's pours sweat as he smashes blocks with his head and ass. Except for say Metroid, F-Zero, LoZ and the like, a huge technological leap wouldn't do a lot from a style perspective for a fair amount of their titles. Maybe staying just a little behind technologically is smarter for Nintendo, whereas Microsoft and Sony can't do the same things because their IPs are more hardware intensive....
If so, that's petty smart. But I still want a ridiculously good looking Legend of Zelda game (ala Uncharted fidelity) and a Mario64esque game that I can play online with friends (think SM64, but with ridiculous graphics and cooperative lulz).

I don't see how anyone can fathom a new console -- even one from Nintendo -- being less capable than a 360/PS3.JB1981 said:

They don't seem into funding western studios at all, but maybe that will change. Third-parties won't ever make games for 3DS so I don't see why they'd make games other than ports for a new console with likely huge dev costs without tons of $$$ from Nintendo.

If this is true, I hope Nintendo doesn't go pants-on-head-retarded with online like Sony and Microsoft did this generation. Its one of the reasons why I can't stand the PS3 and 360, and why the Wii is my favorite console this generation.
First off, fuck achievements and trophies. There is nothing more distracting and immersion killing in a game than having the sound on the game get drowned out by a stupid fanfare as a huge brick of colors and text I don't give a shit about pops up on the screen for a few seconds. There isn't a single game where achievement do aside from take away from the enjoyment of a game.
Second, downloadable content is a scam and blatant rip off on all but a few rare exceptions.
Third, I don't give a shit about competitive online. The only PS3 game with online functions I've played, where the single player campaign didn't feel like it was bent over a table and raped so the team could focus on the competitive multiplayer was Demon's Souls.
The only good aspect that online has provided consoles with that hasn't resulted in any particularly bad side effects is the online stores allowing for indie developed games to gain a foothold. I don't know why introducing consoles to online has resulted in them digesting it so horribly. I'm not huge on PC gaming, but PC gaming works with online so much better than consoles. Modding communities, MMORPGs, the same indie gaming market. Hell Oblivion is a testament to how much a modding community can add to a game. I'd go as far as to say online has ruined this last console generation.
If Nintendo is going balls deep into Online like Sony and Microsoft, I think I might be done with contemporary console gaming : /

Well since we're all just throwing shit against a wall and see what sticks, might join it as well.
My hopes:
Powerfull hardware with a shit ton on ram
backwards compatibility with a decent upscaler
Skyward Swords as Launch game. (why not kick of next gen with an amazing game?)
My expectations:
A decent system that will be stronger than current consoles but not by much making it obsolete in terms of power and multiplat games by the time MS and Sony upgrade.
Sony going on record that Next GEn doesn't start unless they say so..^^ lol

This fits in with my expectations. I had been figuring on them going for a late 2012 launch, so an unveiling at this year's E3 (but with most of the conference still focused on Wii/3DS) makes sense. If they're showing the system off to 3rd parties 18 months+ before launch, that probably means they're being pretty aggressive in trying to secure some major titles in the launch window.
