Nintendo's new console will have an advantage though. The video resolution for the next decade (at least) is capped at 1080p, they will be able to use a video chipset that is cooler and more efficient than the PS3/XBox360 without having to push the envelope at the cost of reliability, and without having to worry about becoming obsolete when the PS4/XBoxWhatever comes along. A lot of things were in flux when the last generation came out, now the targets are set, 1080p, BluRay, built-in networking, and software takes care of the rest.
