Nintendo could be set to disclose information on the Wii’s successor after admitting the console has reached its ‘ultimate level’.
Nintendo have reported that its profits for 2008 exceeded its expectations causing the company to ponder whether they’ll achieve the same level of success during 2009. Whilst company stocks have ‘crumbled’ in recent months, pressure seems to be mounting for the company to show off the Wii’s inevitable successor.
Wii 2 now with improved hardware and Blu-Ray!
We can but wish. Who knows, maybe E3 will throw some much-wanted information our way :D
If my predictions are right and they always are, expect a hardware revision ala DSi to piqué consumer interest and sway more third parties.The improved hardware upgrade to the Wii could put it on par with PS3 graphically.This move by Nintendo would even the playing field for developers, thus adding fuel to the fire that would push Sony to drop the price of the PS3 to combat this.Microsoft with nowhere to go but down would release news of their 360 successor for 2011.
Miyamoto be praised!
I’m inclined to agree with you in regards to a Wii hardware revision, rather than a fully fledged, newfangled console being revealed. Though I’m not expecting any dramatic graphical improvements.
“Though I’m not expecting any graphical improvements”
Lucky for you I am, 720p at least.Hopefully at a sub $300 price point.
Ha, I noticed you missed out the word “dramatic”.
It’s definitely going to be able to output in High Definition, that’s a given. Anything else is just pure speculation at this point.
I think that an included Blu-Ray player is asking too much but I’ll accept it if these events come to pass.
I can’t wait to see what Nintendo have in store for us in the coming year. I love the Wii and some of the games are amazing.
that would be idiotic, peak or no peak wii still outsells competition every month (even with no releases) making a sucesor would be nonsense
