Any talk of a new Wii launching in the next two years is extremely premature. Nintendo has to dig themselves out of the cash pile being dumped on them monthly first. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
@anexanhume: Eh, Wii sales are starting to slow down, and they finally had to do a price cut. It wouldn't be too outrageous to see a new Wii released soon. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: The Wii is the fastest selling console ever, and Nintendo's previous generation console was their first one to finish in 3rd place behind the PS2 and the Xbox. I think they're content to ride. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
@anexanhume: That'd be the wrong approach right now, IMHO. Nintendo has their market dominance; they need to press to keep it.
They could easily put out a console as powerful as a PS3, keep the motion controls (in fact, make them better), make it backwards-compatible, and launch it at $250 (or possibly less) right now. And I'm betting we'll see one in the next year or two, along with a price cut for the Wii Classic. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: I'm assuming Nintendo does not want to have the product structure that Sony maintains. However, if they're content to keep the Wii out there alongside a new Wii HD, I could see one launching 2011 for sure. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
@Kaiser-Machead: Confirmed: the WiiToo will be fitted with anti-grav (though at this time it has difficulty maintaing a level plane) and will be capable of the holographic projection of basic shapes (for example punctuation marks).
It will also be aproximately three inches tall. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...
Personally, I have always paid special attention to Sony hardware because their design element is always impressive. The PSP might be second to the DS, but the design is elegant by comparison. The PS3 might be in third place, but I could understand someone arguing the design is much prettier than the Xbox 360 or Wii. Heck, Sony's electronic reader may be getting beat up by Amazon, but their product is so much better designed at release.
The bottom line is that Sony makes really nice hardware - that no one wants. And, if I were running the competition, I would be looking at that nice hardware closely, and then using the concept to build a product that can play Mario.

See, it'll be another money printing decoy, just like the DS. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...

Just like computers. They'll get exponentially larger and costly. #nextgenwiicouldbesmallercheaper...

Sorry, I'm drawing a blank after looking at Chen's face stuffing a McRib down his pants.

Still no McRibs in Brooklyn, although the Chuck E. Cheese at Atlantic Terminal is still hosting children's parties and riots.
