Like the idea, but man there are so many questions thrown up by this...
X1 or X2? I think it'll be a pivotal choice. Logically, given the timing and all, X2 should be pretty much a given at this stage.
How will the dock look and work? A Bluetooth/MiFi HDMI dongle would be the favourite solution IMHO.
Detachable controllers...? Number of buttons? Shoulder buttons? Motion control? Analogue sticks? Do they detach and combine for one player controller, or separate for two? Will it use just those controllers, or easily support additional bluetooth controllers?
Is the screen touch sensitive? What does that mean for TV play? Especially multiplayer?
Cartridges - not SD cards? What does this mean for downloadable games/content? Is there internal storage? Or will you be able to get blank cartridges? or SD to Cart adapters?
Price? I'm thinking more than £199 could be asking too much given it'd be competing with a pre-Neo/Scorpion PS4/XBox and likely more money than a new PS3/XB360.
While we're on price, how much are the Carts going to cost compared with the cost of disc based games on other formats?
Virtual Console? At least up to N64 if not GameCube support?
Get it right and it can be the perfect video games console. Especially for Nintendo's traditional younger target market. Watching my 3 and 5 year old nephews playing Lego on PS3 and Android games, I can see one device does all working for them.
But there's a lot here Ninty could easily get wrong. Most important of which will undoubtedly be the controllers and pricing.
