Nintendo Wii 2 and it is up to 'the time of the super console

"Our next console? Maybe it will be very complex and powerful, in fact just the opposite of the Wii." Shigeru Miyamoto, father of Super Mario and Nintendo's mind two years ago so he joked about next-generation video game machine that his company was already developing. But apparently it was a joke only in appearance: Café Project, code name for the new console, it seems it will have nothing to envy in terms of computing power to both the Xbox 360 of Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 from Sony.

According to the latest rumors from sources inside the Japanese multinational company, the Wii 2 should have a three-core IBM processor much more powerful than the Xbox, an ATI RV770 chip based on Nvidia's top performance in 7800 for PlayStation 3 a controller with six-inch touch screen and some say even the blue ray player.

However, a larger console than the present and capable of producing high-definition graphics, including 3D, which will cost probably between 300 and 400 euro. So far, speculation and unconfirmed officially. Miyamoto and company will present some of the machinery, the June 7 in Los Angeles during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the largest trade fair dedicated to video games in the world, then at least throw it in Japan before Christmas 2011 or during 2012 .

"We prefer to reveal all the details of the new console at E3, so that it can be proved directly," confirmed Satoru Iwata, Nintendo CEO and main architect of Miyamoto are with his recent success. , Beginning with Wii, which appeared in late 2006, was sold in almost 90 million units surpassing their opponents.

Too bad for the multinational Kyoto, things have recently taken a different turn: sales are slowing dramatically, 15 million units in this fiscal year compared to 20 last year, while even the DS does not go so well as in past. Aided by the stronger yen, the result is a collapse in profits by more than 50 percent.

In short, the Wii 2, or at least the new console will be called, is needed to reverse course on the financial plan and continue to keep the Sony and Microsoft at a distance. You just need to understand what they will do the latter. To date, seems to point to the new Sony PlayStation Portable, also will be presented in detail at E3, and in the past has stated on several occasions that the PlayStation 3 is able to last for at least another four years.

Microsoft is still likely to unveil his third Xbox, but some say that it will send all of 2012, relying for this Christmas to Kinetc, the camera system connected the Xbox to translate the gestures into commands. You just have to wait for the Electronic Entertainment Expo to see how things really are.
