Nintendo Wii U Thread

The PS1 had games coming out for it until 2004 and the PS2 had a run for 10 years. PS3 and 360 will likely not die for a while.

I still don't get why people think the next Xbox will be called the 720

X-Box 69!

I approve of this.

Like LC, I approve.

I would be floored if this turned out to have a grain of truth to it. Rumors of a Wii HD have been floating around since at least 2007. Its not happening anytime soon and Nintendo has stated they believe the Wii has more life in it.

So unless they plan to pull a Sony and extend the life of the Wii well into the Wii 2's existence, I don't expect any hardware announcements this June (especially after they just LAUNCHED a new piece of hardware).

I hope this doesn't prompt Microsoft and Sony to pull out a new console.

Sorry SG, but your the 3rd person to make this topic.

Wait, where are the others?

Nintendo Wii 2 was one of the others, I would say use the search bar, but it's a shit stain of a tool.

[Hellspawn28]

Just a rumor at the moment. I hear it's just a Wii add on, could work since it can have more people buy a Wii since most people view it as a kidddy system.

[Gigan X3]

Well if they say it's backwards compatible then I doubt it's just an add on >_>

Oh right...I've been spreading the news all over different boards lately. Must have lost count.

It's not an add on, it's the full on next system

[Hellspawn28]

There been many rumors, some saying it's a add on and the others saying it's a new system. If it's a new system then I'm not surprise since it been nearly five years since the Wii came out, and Nintendo tends to create a new system every five years. For example:

SNES: 1991 - 1996
N64: 1996 - 2001
Gamecube: 2001 - 2006
Wii: 2006 - 2011

I don't think the Wii will die just yet if the next system comes out. They will end up making Wii games for another two more years until everyone gets the new system.

Edit: I found the original thread. You could have easy search "Wii" and would have found it.

Well it's not like they will announce and instantly release the console.

Coincidental that each one has had a five year span? I think not! ^_^

How long was the NES around for?

[Living Corpse]

Well it's not like they will announce and instantly release the console.

How many years ahead do they announce anyways? 2?

[Gigan X3]

More or less, I'd say the next console would come in late 2012 more or less.

[Hellspawn28]

I say Wii 2 should be out at least 2012, and MS said they have no plans for a 3rd Xbox until 2013 or 2014.

[Drewzilla]

Following the rumors of the Wii's sequel yesterday, no rumors about the console have surfaced today.

According to 01net, the console is being codenamed "Project Café," unnamed sources have said. The sources also said that the hardware is comparable to the Xbox 360, including a three-core IBM PowerPC CPU.

The most interesting tidbit, though, may be the controller. 01net is saying it will feature a six-inch single-input touchscreen, front-mounted camera and the standard set of buttons. The control is also thought to be able to function as the Wii sensor bar as well.

It should be noted that this is the same French news site that accurately gave the hardware specs of the NGP before it was announced

I'm not counting on seeing this released until 2013 at the very least. I also don't think that Microsoft and Sony will rush there next gen systems if Nintendo does release this. The 360 is doing find on it's own and PS3 is finally starting to make a profit, and even if they do, I don't expect to see anything from them until later in the decade.

[Hellspawn28]

Could we fuse the other two threads? The 360 should last for another four or five years since the original Xbox had a six year run, and the PS2 had a 10+ year run.
