@Priceless_Spork No to social apps and Yes to backwards compatibility is 2006 not 2016.

Making a system backwards combatible would only drive the cost of the system up. The system's new hardware architecture and os likely won't closely resemble the new console's.

Pretty simple in my book if you want to tap into the "blue ocean" of casual gamers/your average consumers.

Make a CHEAP Apple TV like device that allows you to play every nintendo game of old. Free virtual console through monthly fee.

For more advanced games, the system can draw on processing power from your PC, other devices, etc through the cloud they've talked about.

Backwards compatibility would be a mistake.

People don't want to play old WiiU games on a new console. The better bet would be to take the entire virtual console library and make it free to play with the system. Whether or not that's through a paid service like Playstation Plus or not.
