Interesting...

However, is it really evidence, some random posters saying that they work for a company? Could be wishful thinking. But those figures look awesome, and I'd love a Wii with that power, should be of a reaosnable price as well!

Also, the Wii was UP in America by more than 20% YoY last month, surely that's not a sign its d00med. Its selling PS360 numbers each week, so it isn't selling poorly...

But there's a lot of rumours going around now, even just in this thread...so, who knows?

 

EDIT**

"I used to work for HVS. If you buy this game, you support slave labor"

Found on Destructoid site...does this mean that HVS uses sweat shops? Doubt it.

The DS wasn't selling poorly before they announced the replacement. Yeah it could actually be Microsofts console as well because they recently made some hirings. What is known is that we're on the console development warpath to the next generation with one, two or all three players ramping up. The rumours won't come out the same as last time as the industry itself has had quite a few of the leaks plugged. For instance where were the rumours of the 3DS before the announcement? We actually had more PSP2 rumours than 3DS ones and the 3DS just came out!

In the end it is probably more likely than not that Nintendo has a new console on the way. They don't have to set any technical benchmarks and they are the console maker who will benefit most in the next generation by being the first out with a viable console. When is a question which is probably bounded inside a 9 month window from the start of 2012 to the end of 2012, thats my estimation.

As for the edit: Well he was talking about how hard they worked staff... that isn't hard to pick from the statement.

Remember that the 3DS' initial announcement arrived specifically because they were aware of an inevitable leak, so they've just grown more aware of the leaks but not necessarily how to stop them
