FINALFANTASYDOG said:They did that because 3ds had a really unique feature and all they did was annouce that feature. Unless there is some gimmick here, I expect a bit of a wait till Nintendo's annoucment
Wii IGN said:Additional sources tell IGN that Nintendo will release a pre-announcement this month with a full reveal expected at E3 and that the console will be backwards compatible with current Wii software.
Majine said:My question is why they would abandon the blue ocean strategy that made them so succesful this generation. Oh well, I'm not gonna complain.
shinobi602 said:Am I the only one hoping that each game on this new console will be standard controller compatible as well?
Keep motion control, just please don't make it just motion control only...that's the only thing that stopped me from getting a Wii

Or cynically skeptical, considering games journalism. I'm actually not totally buying into this, although I want it to be true.Josh7289 said:Wow, just the sheer number of outlets all reporting unique information that simultaneously all back each other up has me believing this.

It'll be early JuneBen2749 said:When is E3, and what dates will Nintendo be announcing stuff? I want to book the time off work, as this is going to be a doozy.
I feel like I'm reading a different thread, here. Though people are celebrating, nothing out of this world has been even remotely promised. It's apparently going to be "significantly" (whatever that means) more powerful than 7 year old hardware, and it will be capable of outputting in 1080P, which would only be remarkable if it wasn't true. This really doesn't tell us anything.Azelover said:unless they completely lost their minds I don't see this new console being as powerful as these journalists are saying. It's yet another bogus rumour of a Wii successor.

Zenith said:Um, you realise PCs can do this today? Where's your "OMAOMGSDMGAOGW" for them?
grkazan12 said:Excited, but do you guys think that they'll implement a new form of id for online play? or are we going to get 3DS style implementation of FCs.

a) End of 2012 is 1,5 years from now. That's at least one production process update for both CPUs and GPUs. GTX470 is slower than GTX560 which is based on a GPU which you can find in cards selling for $150 right now. Thus, yes, GTX470/560 level of performance is certainly possible in a console releasing in the end of 2012.kittoo said:That will take some powerful hardware. My PC has a GTX 470, 6GB RAM and Core i7 920 and C2 runs at about 60FPS in 1080p, so that spec can be ballpark. No way nintendo has that, the price will go way above acceptance.
also: i'm not sure it's repeatable.schuelma said:I think they have seen that they only achieved partial success with that strategy.
Same here.The_Technomancer said:Yeah, GAF is still going down for a few seconds every few minutes for me
neptunes said:Every time Nintendo tries to capture the "Hardcore" market they always fail.
Their strength has always been appealing to a broader demographic, than and their rabid fan base that has been following them throughout the years.
It already did with the 3DS. Yes, handhelds count!VisionaryQuest0 said:Wow, it's finally happening. Next Gen is about to begin again.
shinobi602 said:Isn't it only compatible with like...20 games? And most of them are shovelware crap?
The Bookerman said:Phil Kollar of GI is saying over twitter that they just got major heat because they were supposed to sit on the story until Nintendo did some sort of announcement. So I guess those "leaks" are true
