Good examples include the DS series and the Wii before motion controllers became "normal".
Although they'd clinch it if they made a top-of-the-line console with more powerful hardware than the current generation AND nifty gadgets.
Although the DS didn't really make that much use out of the touch pad...
Specs aren't everything, and since the Wii outsold the others buy a huge margin it's hard to argue.

Well, it will be something to watch, wait and see.
The cameras aren't for faces etc, they're to detect movement without needing a sensor bar.
