One of my favorite places to go, and read-up on peoples opinions about games, is the neogaf forums. I was reading through the project “Cafe” thread and ran across this interesting idea for Nintendo’s next system.

Maybe they aren’t ditching anything.
As someone said, the codename Cafe could mean the console is a ‘gathering place’, a hub of sort for all Nintendo devices (which would go with the rumor that it’s upgradable over time :future nintendo products could be used with it). It could be used for the 3DS, DS, with Wiimotes, with the new tablet-thingy control, depending of what usage you have.

With the 3DS Nintendo wants everyone to carry it around with them at all times. Thus Nintendo added things like Netflix, Street Pass, and so on, to give people a reason to always have their 3DS with them. Why wouldn’t Nintendo make a home console that is a “gathering” place for everything?

Editor Note: This is not a rumor but an idea from a gaming fan.
