I suppose Nintendo tries to catch up to HD with the new one, but if they can actually pull that off, PS3 and 360 will have a good partner to compete with.

While there is a great deal of gray-brown games out there for the 360 and PS3, there is also a a great deal of colorful games on both systems. The Bioshock games are a good example of this along with everything Capcom puts out. Sega also puts out some good and colorful games like Valkyria Chronicles and Bayonetta.
Also Fallout 3 is as gray as a game gets but nobody would call it soulless.
One shouldn't look at thee latest generic shooter and just ignore the existence of games like Uncharted, God of War, Mass Effect and Ratchet and Clank. :)

Consoles get compared to PCs too much. Nintendo aims for a new market by making their consoles gimmicky. Unfortunately then they only feature heaps of shovelware.

Touchscreen controller, with Wii compatibility, and HD graphics?

Tape a Wiimote and a DS and hook whatever comews out on an XBox 360.

Other thing to consider is that we've reached a technological highpoint for which it is economically suicidal to aim higher then. Case in point no game taxes the PS3/XBox 360 to the limit, because it isn't worth it. The most demanding commercial game to date was still Crysis last I checked, and that was made a few years back.

Don't expect consoles with much more computing power then what we currently have, but do expect more annoying gimmicks to keep being tacked on our consoles as time goes by.

For this specific case, I'll get it only if there's a game on it I can't pass up. Just like with every other console I've gotten, ever.

I don't really remember any very serious release on wii, the only things on wii I saw was some cutesy looking kids or family games, I did see only a very few really serious titles, something RPG, but mario pretty much defined Nintendo, no matter what they will do, it will always be compared to the latest mario release, they made a poop, and the stick follows, i'm not saying mario games are bad, but that is what defines what the type of a console wii is, PS games are mainly defined by heavy RPG games, with shooters on occasion, 360 is reverse to that I suppose, although 360 also has a lot of RPG games, PS3 defo has them more, if the new console can actually change the way customers approach Nintendo, by all means, be my guest, but please, don't make the games at the price of 1/3rd of the console price. (Wii and DS are funnily expensive games lol)

I have always been rooting for Nintendo. They came way before Microsoft or Sony did, and in my opinion, Nintendo has had the most advancements (Hendheld Games, 2 screen handhelds, motion control, etc.). I would definitely buy the NintenGO.
