Wii 2

Gaming site Maxconsole.net, citing information leaked to Logic-Sunrise.com by a Nintendo France marketing employee, is reporting that a new Nintendo console will be launched worldwide in the third quarter of 2010. This "Wii 2" will reportedly get a Blu-ray drive, and support 1080p for games and movies.

An official announcement will reportedly happen just one month before launch date. In the intervening months, "huge publicity and viral marketing will be utilized to create buzz" (so this post is ultimately contributing to that, right? Damned if you do...).

Allegedly, there will be the option to trade in old Wii's for "Wii 2" consoles.

This rumor comes just after Nintendo's profit fell by more than half in the six months from April, hit by a slump in console sales (it sold 5.75m Wiis between April and September, far fewer than the 10m it shifted in the same period last year).

Some analysts are suggesting that a completely new console offers its best hope of reviving hardware sales.

Sony, on the other hand, has benefited from a reduction in the price of the PS3. "The price cut on the PlayStation 3 was effective because people are getting a high spec Blu-ray disc player for a good price," said Yusuke Tsunoda, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities.

Lyckas komma om? Hoppas du menar rent tekniskt. Eftersom Wii nästan har 50% av marknaden?

Och skrev jag inte det? Får väl ändra.

Men Xbox 360 och PS3 kommer ju komma med en ännu bättre konsol säkert.

Varför skulle Nintendo inte kunna göra en konsol med Bluray och 1080p?

Ser man rent historiskt kan jag inte hålla med om att N är snåla. De har väl varit en av storsatsarna i tidigare generationer och alltid legat i framkant när det gäller hårdvaran, även om enstaka konkurrenter tidvis varit starkare. Det känns fel att döma ut Nintendo på en generation. Okej, Gamecube hade inte heller DVDstöd men annars var den ju inte svagare/sämre än PS2. Jag tyckte handkontrollerna till den var grymt sköna.

Det är ju Nintendo vi pratar om, företaget som snålar mest inom spelbranschen.

PROTIP: köp inte dina grejer på onoff

med tanke på att man kan hitta wiimote+nunchuck för typ 3-400kr så känns det bara jävligt korkat att betala mer än dubbelt så mycket för det.

Alltså, är Wii 2 en ren uppföljare till dagens Wii, eller är det bara en uppgraderad version med lite extrafinesser?

Ingen vet ännu, men enligt ryktet som redovisas högre upp skall Wii2 stöda HD, ha en Blurayspelare med mera.

Fel svar. Det finns spel som stöder 1080p fullt ut, men de är inte många. Samma på PS3.

Nintendo: No Wii Successor Anytime Soon

Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says don’t count on Nintendo introducing an update to its hit Wii videogame console, or new system, in the coming months.

Sony and Microsoft plan to challenge rival Nintendo’s dominance of the current console generation with add-ons they hope will deliver a more sophisticated take on motion control than the motion-sensing technology in the three-year-old Wii. But Fils-Aime, in an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, said: "We are confident the Wii home entertainment console has a very long life in front of it.”

The Japanese videogame maker is betting that upcoming installments of its franchise hits Metroid Prime and Super Mario will reinvigorate the red-hot sales that kept the console in short supply for the first two years of its life.

Nintendo in October issued its first profit warning in six years as sales slowed sharply and the strength of the Yen, relative to the currencies of the U.S. dollar and other countries where it sells its products, sapped profits.

Industry watchers and analysts have been speculating for months that Nintendo is prepping an update to the Wii that offers more sophisticated high-definition gaming. Sony, which already has HD gaming on its PlayStation 3, this year also plans to release software that will allow PS3 owners to watch movies and play games in 3-D. The PS3 has seen a surge in sales after Sony cut the price of its base model and introduced a slimmer version of the game system.

Nintendo on Jan. 13 hoped to counter recent moves by Sony and Microsoft to transform their consoles from gaming consoles into home entertainment platforms by announcing that it will let members this spring stream Netflix movies and TV episodes to the televisions via the Wii console.

To watch content, Wii users will need a special “instant-streaming” disc that Netflix will mail out to members who request a copy. They will then be able to use the Wii’s motion controller to navigate through their Netflix account and pick what they want to watch.

Microsoft has long offered the ability to stream Netflix through the Xbox 360 as part of a premium service plan in its Xbox Live online platform, while Sony recently began delivering the same service under similar conditions to the Nintendo agreement.

With the outcome of this generation’s console wars still very much in doubt as each manufacturer races to up the ante, many analysts believe it’s only a matter of time before Nintendo is forced to add new technology instead of new software to the Wii.

Fils-Aime suggested no such announcement would be make at the upcoming Game Developers Conference in March in San Francisco but did not elaborate on the type of announcements Nintendo will make at the annual gaming confab, the E3 Expo, in mid-June.

Nintendo are said to be looking at turning the fortunes of their home console business around and are set to announce the successor to their massively successful Wii home console at E3. Sources have revealed to Blu-ray.com that Nintendo are looking at including Blu-ray as the main optical drive. This would be a natural progression from the Wii which uses DVD, but it isn't clear if Nintendo would enable BD movie playback on the new console or whether they would just use it for data as they do with DVD on the Wii. This new device could be the internal successor to the Blu-ray enabled Wii that was rumored for release in 2010.

Nintendo trodde ju att 3DS skulle bli en hit, men snarare så går det bättre Med nintendo ds lite, men självklart, nu när sony och ja alla spelkonsolstillverkare går uppåt så ligger nintendo inte så bra, tycker att wii ska bli en av de bästa konsolerna, bluray spelare i wii? Welcome to the future...

Jul 2012 har jag sagt hela tiden. Innan dess lär vi inte se ngn Wii-U. De måste hinna utveckla lite mjukvara till den också.
