I would bet there will be some sort of demo like the Dolphin Spaceworld demo we all remember so well. But they won't have any real hw or sw because they are still 18 months (or so) away. We'll probably get specs like cpu speed, RAM size, and how many bits ;) the system will be and a few goodies as well (like "all controllers will be wireless" or "backwards compatible with GC" or "all machines will be linked together in one distributed network farm so we can steal your extra clock cycles and make a search engine to rival google". Those are just some suggestions.
Actually, that gave me a great idea. It would be cool if they could put all the machines into one distributed network and use the consoles that are not being used at the moment as servers for others who are playing online. They wouldn't have to have dedicated hw for that purpose, because I'm sure that at any given moment the vast majority of people are not playing their game console. Sure, there are a ton of technical problems with it, but it would probably be feasible with a little engineering.
