Square Enix head predicts new Wii in 2011, says motion 'impact' for Xbox, PlayStation will be 'small'

That comment was FAIL!

Sometimes I like to make comments and ramble on without ever stopping and using periods because I feel that I don't need to so I wont and because I was so nice to leave a terrible comment I will also leave a link below so that you will click it and get a ton of ads k bye guys






Freak.

You're on a GAMING website and you're saying Nintendo fail? Wow, just wow.

2011 will be the real Megaton?

Why would the wii suddenly integrate features from the ps3/360, given that it's original target was the so-called "casual gamer" who's not into anything complicated or high-end HD graphics?

If a new Wii is released I'd pick it up along with the old Wii which would be even cheaper at that point.

Here's an idea - have a standard controller in the box so game developers won't have to worry about losing sales if they don't want a forced remote gimmic shadowing over their game.

What temporal rift did you walk through? More importantly, do people speak english there? While I would love to see a unified gaming console format from all three companies, it will never happen. I don't think Nintendo is worried about Sony's or Microsoft's motion controllers. Sony and Microsoft are now trying to cash in on the casual gaming market that Nintendo created with the introduction of an easy to use motion controller. While Sony and Microsoft may be successful with their take on motion controls, I personally will not be buying them. After playing games for 30 years, I still prefer to use a standard controller. This may explain why I only have 2 Wii games versus the hundreds of games I have on the other systems.

That comment was intended for the first post.

Really love the Wii, but this region lock business has really got to go.

Wii Momentum is in a decline...if the price cut ads are real they will not help that much i don't think...and its their fault...Nintendo went the wrong way this time....

the PS2 sold 140 million units by year 7.....how did they do this? they went after the GAMERS first and THEN worked in the Casual gamers.....what does Nintendo do? go ass backwards....targeting the Casual market first and THEN trying to make up for it and get the gamers afterwards....but gamers aren't as 4giving....so while the Wii has cruised it way thru this first few years selling 40-50 Million, they have pretty much saturated the market and I honestly don't see them making it to 100Million units sold before they release another system...and lifetime sales of the Wii DAMN sure wont hit 150 Million...

so I'm going to side with him and say that a New Nintendo console will be out by 2011....2012 at the latest....

I'm thinking 2011's a little early. I mean, the system's just now getting its first price drop... I think it still has legs.

Oh, unless the new system and the Wii will coexist for a couple years or so.

"The system will add features found on the PS3/360, and may also introduce a brand new controller."

In relation to the second half of this sentence:

.....BRILLIANT!!!!!

Any and all confused looks and puzzled grimaces resulting in the consequence of down votes will inherently lose EXP thus potentially resulting in a loss of level.

"Xbox 360 pwns" was all you needed to read to get everything from that comment, what a waste of space

I agree with him on all counts, actually. Long have i advocated the idea that the next Wii will come in 2011, but i believe the next Xbox will come by then too. For Wada's two points are related. It's because Microsoft and Sony's motion controls will have minimal impact as they are that they'll be forced to release new hardware sooner than they would like, or persistently remain in Nintendo's shadow

It's not in Nintendo's interests to string the Wii out longer than its natural life-span. They have to keep things fresh, and i don't see them being able to do that with Wii alone longer than a couple more years (which should be sustained by new Zelda, project Sora, and yes, Wii Vitality)

And we've seen it from all the core devs close to Microsoft that they are hesitant to use Natal, which will slow Natal's start, which will lead to a downward spiral in the device's popularity, at least, unless Microsoft does something between now and then to make the device universal (though not necessarily mandatory)

Sony still hasn't shown how they plan to use the device beyond their exclusive software. The idea of patching the control into existing games that they put forth is probably one of the worst ideas out there. Shoe-horning has been proven to be the wrong direction time and again on Wii, and i doubt it will win out on PlayStation 3.

Motion impact for Xbox and Playstation will be minimal...Tell me something I don't know.

Wii HD will not be that big of an upgrade but I think that it will adapt more of the hard core gamers. Nintendo wants to apply the handheld model to the console market, meaning that every 2-3 years there will be a Wii revision. The first will be the Wii HD
I think that with this revision you with have the same chip architecture but faster maybe 1 to 2 ghz cpu and 400 mhz gpu with 256 megs of ram.in order to render wii games at HD resolutions which is all this will be. There wont be games specifically made for wii HD but there could be patches downloaded to make current and future wii games look better on wii hd such as texture packs. In terms of the controller wii hd will have a wii-mote with integrated wii plus. Wii HD will aesthetically smaller and more premium and feel very sold we may all so get a new classic controller that doesn't have to be tethered and will be completely wireless so we could loose the GC ports but may retain one GC memory card slot. Also Wii HD will launch at 249.00 if the ps3 and 360 are still at 299 but they may not be so we could see all three at 199.00.
