Shalashaska said:Can someone explain to me (if the details are true) why Nintendo is announcing this soon but with an apparently targeted date of late 2012? Seems rather early to announce a new console and have everyone wait and pretty much kill your current sales for that long.
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:they just dropped the price didn't they? how many more people are going to buy a wii anyways?
MarshMellow96 said: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.

Hopefully they pump it full with a lot of ram.
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:If the new Nintendo console is indeed significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and 360, then holy shit I want to see Sony and MS's new consoles specs.

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.
Want.

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:If that is this true that's great , that means MS and Sony have to get up off there asses.
We have tech to make systems 4 or 5 times more powerful that current system at 400.
Yep. Mods, you can finally unban Drinky. He was right about the Thursdayton, just a few years off is all.I Push Fat Kids said:Thursdayton redeemed.
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.

devildog820 said:DLC isn't a scam. It CAN be implemented like one, though. It's very profitable and not going anywhere.
