1. Must have HD graphics.

2. Must have an internal Harddrive.

3. Great 3rd party support from EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar games, etc.

4. Great online community and online store.

5. Backward compability with the Wii and the Virtual Console should now include Gamecube games able to be downloaded.

6. Ditch the kiddie image. That means no Miis or other things that could have the system branded as Wii 2. You want hardcore gamers back you can't have this system being associated with the Wii or branded as Wii 2....thus we get the codename: Project Cafe.

7. Think it might be a good idea for them to develop a new IP for launch, something that would appeal to gamers. Something fresh and new.

8. Ability for 3D gaming. Not sure how important it is to have 3D gaming to start but I think eventually you want that capability.

I didn't mean this as a complaint more of a "hell yeah there are a ton of games coming out" because for a while great releases were few and far between especially early on.

Infamous, Prototype, Modern Warfare 2, Assassins 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, God of War III, DC Universe Online(or whatever its called)

Too many games to get. All of them are on my wish, although having never played GOW I or II(I got my PS3 pretty recently, been an Xbox guy until then) I may hold off on getting GOW III. Still a ton to be excited about in the coming months.
