E3 will make gaf die. It will never return.
Arnie said:If Nintendo can liase with DICE to have an advanced version of Battlefield 3 running at 60fps, a game that will have been out for a whole year at the consoles launch. Then I'll be there day 1.
Microsoft could do it if their gaming division manages to convince the rest of the company "oh hey gaiz, we need more money", which they probably could with the success of Kinect. I don't know about Sony though. The PS3 has been profitable for what, just over a year now?ZombieFred said: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.
Our sources have said the the console is significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that Nintendo's intent is to recapture the hardcore market.

Steve Youngblood said: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.

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.

The 3DS had a bit more RAM than people expected, though likely not as much as people wanted. So there's hope, albeit small glimmers.Guerrillas in the Mist said: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.
Shalashaska161 said:What Nintendo needs to do in terms of power is have a system that can not only beat the current console's for the next couple years, but also be able to receive ports from whatever Sony and Microsoft release next gen. If it's coming out this year then the Wii 2 is going to have to be fairly powerful, since there is going to be at least a 2 year gap between them and the other 2 consoles.

but I thought they died
then came back
then died again
PushTheButtonMax said:I've been maintaining to my friends that there's no way Nintendo would announce a new console at E3, mainly for the sake of not taking the spotlight off of the 3DS. If I'm wrong however, I will gladly eat crow.

According to the same source that gave us the NGP specs a few days before it was unveiled, the next Nintendo system will be on par with a 360 and will feature a completely new controller (not a Wiimote, not a Kinect-like thing).

Just saying.

Solid_Rain said: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.

JB1981 said:Megaton. Would DEFINITELY be interested if more powerful than PS3/360.
badcrumble said:Well, mostly, yes (same with RE4), because the Gamecube controller is so fucking awesome, but the lack of progressive scan makes me sad.
If they stick with IBM its probably a safe bet the Wii 2 will have a Cell processor inside of it. IBM teased as far back as the Wii launch they were beginning talks with Nintendo and Microsoft over the idea of using it.Graphics Horse said:Well, It's unlikely to have better floating point performance than the PS3's cell, but having a better GPU is pretty likely, yes.
Also: Could it have a May announcement to coincide with Wii price drop? Can't help think it's coming out in under a year if that's the case.
