The way I see it is nintendo will probably get alot of people on this thing that haven't played before. If you look at what they are doing with the DS with brain training and english lessons etc. they really opened up a new market.
But I'm not someone who falls in this categoy. I want pretier, more complex games. I want huge open worlds with alot going on and realistic physics and lighting and I'm not at all bored of the current controllers. So for people like me and alot of the other nintendo fans it won't bring what I/we want. It'll succed and become popular, just not with the current gaming public. I'll play it for the Zelda's (although Twilight princess is going into my cube), metroids and mario's but I fear that'll be all that caters to my audience. In the end i fear it'll have an even less interesting library than the cube. Lots of exclusives that I'm not interested in.
I could be wrong ofcourse and even hope that I am but with its weak power ports will be hard to do and a good fps costs alot of money to make which devs will probably put into a pc/360/ps3 game before the wii. I also still don't see it being comfortable to play games for a few hour with the remote but we'll see.
