What should be the properties of an ideal console?

I start:

EDIT: Everything below should come at a relatively low price, lets say $400 or even $300.

- it should be open to all kinds of control schemes like KB&M, standard controller, Wiimote, ...

P.S. A side point regarding competition: Should it try to look like a game specialist and try to beat PC and make it look like a generalist?

It should have a librarywith lotsof quality games, and it should be reliable.dracula_16

library of lots of game may translate to -> developers love to -> ease of developement and no performance bottlenecks in the hardware.

Ultimate (And i mean ULTIMATE) Variety of gamesfrom EVERY genre out there,from sports games to sims,from FPS to platformers,a console with that kind of variety of games will dominate all other competing consoles combined.Indestructible2

ease of developement may contribute towards a bigger library.
