Why? Well the Wii is already about as small as they could make it, memory wise it could use more internal memory but Nintendo constantly says that the Wii has sufficient memory. What about HD, Nintendo has already said the next console will feature HD they have also downplayed the idea of an HD update for Wii. What more can Nintendo do to redesign the Wii? The thing is already a beautiful machine and their isn't much Nintendo could do to improve on it. Don't forget the Wii was announced at E3 2005 the year after DS launched in late 2004 early 2005. Then that E3 (2005) Nintendo announced project Revolution. With the controller being unvieled at TGS 2005. I suspect Nintendo may do this again, avoid taking thunder away from 3DS while re-assuring consumers a new console is on the way. Of course I could be wrong Nintendo might do a big unvieling which I would be all over. But I'm pretty positive that the new console will be announced formally this year whether at E3 or later in the year. I still predict a winter launch in 2012. |
A redesign doen`s necessarily mean making it smaller. It could be the same size but with a different look, different packaging and so on.
And if it came with a new price at the same time it would really help elevate sales.
I actually thought the Wiimote was revealed first! :D
Still, what might hold off an announcement is the fact that Nintendo doesn`t a new console the same way it needed a new console to replace they dying Gamecube. Wii is still selling very well and an announcement would only bring forth a premature death. Wii still has potential to sell a lot more millions.
That`s why i think Wii2 will only be revealed next year with a release in late 2012.
