Until they reveal the price and/or Sega announces that there'll be a VO game for it, no. :p

It seems investors are really skeptical it will succeed.

The Nintendo Wii was a huge success in hardware sales but, flopped hard in software sales. The majority of game sales were made up of first party games and if I were a developer(who cared) I'd be incredibly cautious about this. Nintendo is always behind the curve on hardware so I don't think it'll be anywhere near as powerful as they think it'll be.

Also that is a retarded name.

That makes sense but will it effect Nintendo much? They did well financially with the Wii. I'm interested to see the price of this thing.

It will do well (hardware sales-wise) as long as piracy is somewhat simple to perfect on it, along the lines of Wii, PSP, and DC essentially. At least thats the trend I've noticed within the last few gens of console gaming.

I just kinda fantasized how awesome it would've been if it's called the "Wii O" instead and then have Watari announces a new VO game for it.
