Simplicity is what makes it interesting. It will allow the Wii to appeal to a greater audience.
At the end of the day, Nintendo will have a console that will look simple enough for people to actually use. The top latch covering the "complicated connectors" is part of it, the small form factor that is not intimidating people, the "natural" controller and, to some extent, the simple nature of the launch titles, are, too. It will lower the entry bar and that's what Nintendo wants.
