The new system rumors are too fanboyish to be believable

 How does it being more powerful than PS3 make it fanboy rumours? And what's wrong with blu-ray? I hope you don't tink it belongs to Sony.

But yeah, the ditching Wiimote for DA and going 'hardcore' rumours sound like bull**** to me.

I'm sure motion controls will come with this console and they're not going hardcore, they're just trying to get third party support. They'll still cater to everyone, not just self-procalimed 'hardcores'.

Lets see, two gens, GCN and Wii, they shunned DVD, that tells me that Blu-Ray is unlikely

And read my post above about why more powerful is a bit too fanboyish, it comes down to cost and power requirements

They could still use blu ray for storage, unless they have something better or good enough. No one is expecting it to play blu ray movies since we know Nintendo doesn't care about those things.

Wii uses DVDs, it just can't play DVD movies. Not using DVD cost them with the GC.

Yeah, being more powerful tahn PS3 is not expensive so your point doesn't count. Nintendo isn't going to copy and paste its strategy from this gen and hope for success.

What's the point of having the cost of a blu-ray player then?  Like I said its unlikely, more likely is some other proprietary format to hinder piracy.

Actually having the PS3 power in a small form factor will be more expensive,, remember the size of Nintendo consoles are smaller than the competition, the next console might even be smaller than the Wii.

They won't copy and paste exactly, but don't think they won't try and use as much of the strategy again as they can, the Wii was their most successful console ever, only an idiot would throw that strategy away.
