If we don't see any new major titles announced at this E3 then I would be looking for them to announce their new system at the following E3 for possible release by the end of 2012. |
Thats what i'll be looking out for while watching E3. I just feel that as the HD consoles games are really improving with each passing year (and I dont mean graphics but AI, game size, dialog, mechanics, online) then Nintendo will seriously have to think about this now and plan for it.
2011 would be nice but I cant see it personally - as many others have said a new handheld will get released first, and a full HD, backwards compatible, more poweful console with more storage, a better online model and aimed at core gamers whilst still supporting the Wii for younger / more casual gamers makes sense.
