Only time will tell, but I think Nintendo is doing the right thing by staying games-only. Third parties know that Sony and MS want their systems to become set-top boxes so that leaves only Nintendo to be the purely games hardware maker. I imagine that third-party developers would find a games-only console more attractive than a set-top box where they'll have to compete with all sorts of different kinds of media. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong.
