My final words going into E3:
Nintendo is either brilliant or crazy.
Their goal is to create a new standard of play and a new standard of thinking -- Standard controllers vs. Wiimote. Next Generation vs. New Generation.
They're riding high on the DS right now, and they should be. They could change the game because they're in a position of power to be able to. But their collective egos better be in check. The markets are clearly separate and they're not in a position of power in the console race. If they try to stir things up, they just may find themselves looking at the tail lights of their competitors for a 3rd generation in a row.
E3 won't answer any questions about Nintendo's long term future. E3 preaches to the choir. How excited *we* get based on what they show doesn't matter one bit. It'll be history that tells us whether Nintendo's Wii is to Apple's iPod or if the Wii is to Apple's computer platform.
