Project Cafeis approaching an imminent reveal, and its rumored focus on HD graphics and “core” gamers seems to paint it as a next generation GameCube. Could that be a bad thing? Nintendo trailed in last place in the previous generation, only shooting to the top with a unique new approach in the Wii.

Motion control is starting to fade away, and Nintendo clearly wants to apply jump leads to its hardware and kick off another craze. Will Nintendo do it, or is it setting itself up for another fall?
