So dont buy one if it comes out a year later...? No one is forcing you even if it does happen, enjoy the backlog of games you missed out on.

If the rumors are true and it does release late 2012, then the Wii would have been on the market for well over 6 years, that is longer than any previous Nintendo console. And who's to say that the Wii won't continue to stick around even after the release of their new console

I'm pretty confident that the rumors are true. As said by Crystal-Rush - the Wii v.1 will be 6 years old once the new Wii 2 hits the market. That's already pretty darn old. On a personal note - I would really love to see a Nintendo system that has better graphics/more powerful/High Def to also enjoy a much bigger selection of games (especially 3rd party games).

[QUOTE="Rod90"]I hope they are false. We need longer console life spans.

A consoles life span is as long as you want it to be, if a new console comes out in 2012, you could wait until 2016 to retire your Wii. Well maybe not that long since the world would have ended by that time, but you get the point. Its highly unlikely that you've played everything the console has to offer, so even with the big games being made on the new console, you can get life out the current one.

I totally disagree. Everything with the Wii has been done. Developers have reached their creative peak with it. Nintendo needs to release a new console to create new innovation. Lets be honest, the Wiimote technology is outdated. It was cool when it first came out, but the waggle fest is just annoying now.... need some new and improved motion controls.

Not really, Wii motion plus has been COMPLETELY underutilized, there is a TON of potential for it.

It's possible most of the rumors are false. What's not false is Nintendo coming out with a new console. That's most certainly happening. Especially with Wii sales dropping in all regions and there is almost no 3rd party support outside of licensed titles.

That's exactly what I just implied. Nintendo has not yet an installed base of 45 million based on the sources I've checked.

Who's Regie?

That was just talk to get away from any discussion at that moment about a new system so it wouldn't screw with Nintendo Wii sales. With sales slipping and not significant 3rd party support a new system is needed now.

Yup. However when a new system launches isn't his decision and there is nothing to say he would even be in the "know" regarding any plans for a new system, especially at that point in time.

And sorry I thought you were reffering to the Nintendo as a whole, world wide sales, that kind of thing.Since it is very true that U.S. sales have not reached 45 million yet.

You're not only accusing the President of Nintendo of America of lying but also underestimating his knowledge he may have on it (assuming there actually IS a new console in the making)?

When a new console is revealed and launched is handled by the boys and girls in Kyoto, Reggie simply may have been operating on old information. But the more likely reason is he was simply lying, he's not going to tip Nintendo's hand in some random interview; they could have been showing a new system two weeks after that and he would have said no. You tip your hand to early and you end up with things like the Sixaxis and Jack Tretton trolling lol.

While you are correct about longer life spans, the Wii has pretty much hit the end of its life cycle IMO.

Well No, forget what I just said because I cancelled my 3DS order due to the fact that their is only a few good games coming out. And I said I would never sell a console again, unless it goes towards a console and will get more money for it than usual. Anyways, its just that I hate that they might make 2 new consoles in one year, but now that I know that is is late 2012 that may not be too bad. I just hope people don't forget about the wii after the announcement, remember the gamecube?

I disagree.... Those controls are far better for FPShooters that I play and will be using it for the new wii. There's no way they'd drop the controls after pumping so much into them. An upgrade of some sort and probably some major restyling.

Big difference between the GC and the Wii, the GC had been dead for years, while the Wii is the dominant market leader. It would continue to see support, though it would be minimal. However it wouldn't be like the cube where everything just stopped abruptly.

The news reports and rumors are continuing to come in on the news, so by now, I'd say that the Wii2 will most likely be debated at E3 this year in June.

The Wii remote is untaped greatly imo, but............... no one is going to support the darned thing with vastly outdated hardware, and a company that is just starting to reach out to developers on top of that.

I don't care what anyone says, graphics do matter just as much as gameplay. You can have the greatest control method or the greatest gameplay, but if the game looks like garbage... it won't sell 9 times out of 10.

I honestly believe it's all abig symbiote circle. Developers want to be able to do things with their projects. Not all have that choice, but I know I wouldn't want to use my talents on outdated tech if I had my choice. If the console makers don't give them the opportunity to use the creativity freely because of the hardware choices they've made, I can imagine that would cause some problems.
