hmm I'm not so keen on the idea.
Seems a bit restricting.

Nintendo are kind of like an old man in the community who gives free sweets to children and tells genuniely funny, clean jokes to you on the way home from school and lets you pet his dog and you think he's awesome but then some teenagers decide he's weird and beat him up and set him on fire even though he's innocent.

In other words, I love them dearly but they start needing to listen to consumers rather then telling them what they want and shoving it down their throats. I trust them to produce some great in-house games to support this thing, but it might shaft multi-platform ports. Could you imagine playing a beat 'em up on it?
