Saying the Wii sold "rather well" is like saying the GTR is "kinda fast".

But yes, studies have shown that people play their Wii the least of of the three current systems. I can actually see them supporting BOTH systems. This new one and the Wii. Keeping the Wii as almost strictly a casual gamer console, and this new one for the core gamer. That would actually be pretty cool. Although the downside to that is it would be very hard to have so many Mario, Zelda, etc etc titles in development at once if they decided to continue to offer those type of titles on the Wii.

My personal speculation on price is $299. I don't see Nintendo releasing a $400 system.
That would be a good business model but like you said, splitting titles would cost the developers more money and in turn will delay titles.

Also if it is worth it, people will pay for it. Sony and Microsoft both have proven that we are willing to pay for the hype. I really hope they blow my socks off as I haven't been really impressed with the big N's home consoles in a while...
