Maybe... However if there was a new console releasing next year we would start to hear about it now given the intense secrecy thats recently engulfed the games industry and the longer development time for console games.

In fairness, it's not like we knew anything about 3DS last year... Nintendo's good with secrets.

 

Besides, I bet Hayashi knows about Wii 2. [/burn]

Yep. That was excellent work, however they did kind of announce it at the time when they probably couldn't keep it a secret any longer. It was better that they announce a new product that to have it leaked before hand. Handhelds have much shorter development times so they can get away with not telling people for a while.
