Yeah, patents like Wii Vitality Sensor are also happening. ;)

There are many more patents Nintendo has filed that we don't know anything about.

Call me back when the Vitality sensor is advertized as their next generation console instead of a minor experimental accessory to an existing console. Only then will the vitality sensor be relevant to this discussion.

There is one patent we do know about. A detailed one for a console that is all digital filed this year. The same year they announced the code name for their next genration console likely releasing next year. But sure. It's just some other next gen Nintendo console launching next year.

Where was this patent advertized as their next-gen console?

Consoles can't have different versions? One with an optical drive and a cheaper one without it?

Trust me, Nintendo filed patents for their next console long before this year. And their next console won't get leaked through a patent filing.

You're basically saying that Nintendo will abandon more than half of its current userbase.

A patent doesn't always translate to actual implementation, more often than not nothing is done with it.
