Can't wait.
Hope the size of the machine is compact again, Wii is the perfect size. I am guessing it wont be exactly the same if these rumors are true due to heat etc, but it could be diddy still.

Most consoles are announced that far in advance. Nintendo wanted to show it early so they could get third-party support and knew it would leak almost immediately afterward because no one can keep a secret so why not announce it if there's already leaks?

BC games in HD will probably sell me the console, personally.
And yes, you guys are right about choice; however, I want that choice to come with the console. I don't want to have to buy another controller because I want motion control.

The price drop got me thinking maybe I should buy one but with the reports saying the next console will be BC, no point in biting now. Having a price drop announcement and successor announcement (with full BC) but coming late 2012 right around each other doesn't make sense to me. But I'm not a businessman so what do I know. Seems like they've just killed off their next 18 months of sales to anyone who remotely follows the industry.JetBlackPanda said:

What are the chances this is simply a tactic to distract people from today's NPD results?

"SIGNIFICANTELY STRONGER THAN THE PS3."
Just saying.

Well, depending on what we mean by vague terms like "significantly," I really don't understand the surprise some people are exhibiting. Are some not aware that the 360/PS3 tech isn't impressive anymore? Technology advances quickly.mysteriousmage09 said:

I have a feeling this will definitely speed up the release of the next Playstation/xbox, not sure of that's a good or bad thing though, Nintendo are definitely throwing a stone in the pond with this if true.

The thing is obviously going to be significantly more powerful than the PS3/360.
I predict:
5770HD > 560Ti video card in terms of performance (comparing to how computers that use this hardware perform).
720p (the baseline) to 1080p
Improved Motion Controls
$250 - $300
Holiday 2012 launch
This is going to be so awesome.

Really? Both Sony and MS will likely launch later and at higher price points, imo they won't have to try very hard to go beyond it. I think it's very likely though that the Wii2 will get decent ports from those newer consoles.gundamkyoukai said:

The key to good games is a powerful system combined with outstanding development tools. Look at the iPhone/iPad and Xbox 360. Programming for the iPhone lets you combine Objective C and C++ so you have to do very little extra work for ports. Programming for the Xbox 360 is very similar to writing for PCs.
Bottom line is they need to come with a lot of games this time around. The crowd that pushed the Wii into the stratosphere isnt going to be wooed by this new machine if all it offers is better graphics.
If i cant get Skyrim, Batman: AC, Bioshock Infinite, Mass Effect 3, etc..level games out of this thing then i wont bother at launch. IMO PS3 level graphics doesnt do anything to enhance the experiences of games like Galaxy and DKC.

Ok guys, it's time to saving money. No way Microsoft and Sony are going to launch their next consoles later after this console is launched. The next generation is coming, and it's only over the sunrise.

Really? I've never heard of anyone who seriously just adored achievements. I was under the assumption people played games for the game itself.

Should I just start listing successful games with single player campaigns and then say "You're wrong" as though that has proven anything as well?

I want RAM bursting out of the console this time, none of this 512Mb shared nonsense.
I remember reading somewhere that the 360 was originally going to have 256Mb of RAM, but Epic Games convinced them otherwise by showing MS a tech demo of the then in development Unreal Engine 3 with and without the extra RAM.

With consoles of any sort dying in Japan, it makes sense to Taylor something to a market where living room consoles are still big business - the West.
Not surprising, really - I've been saying N6 was coming in 2012 for some time now.
I've realised though that I'm much more of a handheld gamer - my lifestyle simply doesn't suit sitting in front of the TV playing games. I'll probably get one eventually, but only when a new Zelda comes out.
