Really some Italian Newspaper claims this after the last E3:
An all new Wii in 2010
The plans of the giant Nintendo
Nintendo ready for the new version of the King of consoles.
Coming in stores starting in 2010 to keep ahead of Microsoft e Sony.
of JAIME D'ALESSANDRO
LOS ANGELES - The meeting was held in a hotel in Downtown during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the exhibition dedicated to the world of electronic games which ended a few days ago in Los Angeles. On one side the managers of Nintendo, on the other the representatives of the other editors of the caliber of Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Activision. The subject? Two new consoles that the multinational of Super Mario will launch in stores respectively in October 2010 and end 2011.
The first, according to our source, will be a new version of the Wii, the most sold at this time of the home consoles, having exceeded 50 million units. But it is also the least powerful. That's why game developers are asking to have added at least one hard disk and a high definition HDMI port. The new Wii so it should have both. The second will be a portable console, more powerful of about three times compared to Ds and having a better screen. The technical specifications of both were revealed three weeks ago to the largest Japanese publishers of video games in Tokyo starting from Konami, Capcom, Namco Bandai and Square Enix.
"No, we do not have any plan about this" denies Shigeru Miyamoto, the creative mind of Nintendo and principal architect of the success of Wii and DS along with Satoru Iwata, the president of the company in Kyoto. 'It is obvious that we are constantly looking for innovations, "says Miyamoto.
"But it is never a question of hardware. It is crucial for us to bring the best for the most affordable price."
Except that now the others, Microsoft and Sony, are moving in the direction of Nintendo trying alternatives to the traditional joypad and lowering the price of their console. This forces Miyamoto & Co. to react in one way or another.
Beyond the official denials.
