Rumour: Wii Successor to be Unveiled at E3

By on April 14, 2011

GameInformer claims to have spoken with several developers about a possible successor to the Wii.  According to their sources, Nintendo will unveil a new home console at E3 with power comparable to an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 in the hopes of seeing the kind of third party support currently seen by those two consoles.  GameInformer has the new console pegged for release sometime in 2012.

Additionally, their sources claim that the new Nintendo console won’t focus on a single feature much like the Wii has with motion controls.  According to the anonymous sources, Nintendo is “doing it right”.

While GameInformer says the unveiling is all but confirmed, I’d say that this should be filed strictly under the “rumour” category.  Nintendo always plays it’s cards close to it’s chest so you can never be sure what’s true and what’s merely speculation.  We won’t know anything concrete until E3 in May.  It’s going to be a good one.
