Suuuure. I'll believe that it'll be more powerful then the Xbox 360 and PS3 when I see it. As it is, the Wii is less powerful than the original Xbox.

If it's not revolutionary (like the Wii was), it's boring.

The Wii was not revolutionary. It's an overclocked GameCube with sloppy motion control tacked on.

Conclusion: Nintendo has no good ideas for games anymore. Time to add same new kind of games without nintendo characters. We need Battlefield 3 on the Wii Hd :D

Offtopic: what do you think the new system specs the Xbox and Playstation are going to have?

You miss the point at why the Wii was and still is so popular.

The Wii was revolutionary because it brought "gaming" to the masses. You can say what you want, but most PC/Xbox/PS gamers are 20-something males with too much time on their hands, that much is a fact. The Wii gave EVERYBODY something to play, even your arthritic granny could play, your technophobic mother could play, and your young child could wave the controller around and have great fun. The Wii is NOT a gamers choice, it IS an arcade machine, and that is why it was so revolutionary. It catered to the HUGE market that the other platforms were not even paying attention to. It was child friendly, easy, and enjoyable.

It took Microsoft and Sony a while to realise this but they did and now they are following suit.

i still dont get why on earth are they going to use R700 as a base !!!! i thought they would use the 5770 as a base: small(AKA cheap),powerful and has a low power consumption.:ohwell: only thing i can come up with is that the 55nm might be very very cheap by now! oh yeah and the PowerPC architecture is old as fu.k by now

When u look at the "Xenos" chip that powers the 360, its a hybrid x1900 & HD2400/HD2600 (link) Even if the new chip is only HD4670 equivalent, it will be more than capable of outperforming the other consoles by a pretty good margin; and due to the optimizations that go into console game dev, I wouldn't be surprised to see it give most ~$700-$850 PC's a run for their money.

As for PowerPC being old... i guess IBM didnt get your memo with their POWER7 Servers.... And dont forget Watson (jeopardy computer) is powered by PowerPC derived arch, as are many many cars & commercial printers. i will admit however, that the CPU choice may be the weak link here. i can understand using for cost, backward compatibility, and their claim of easier porting from xbox360. i just feel it should be a quad then, or maybe add a specialized "cell"

Well that's cool for nintendo. :p.. I just won't ever buy another console system again.. yea they're easier but they never run as good or look as good as a pc.

As for people playing it. you bet your backside they are.. Wii made so much money Sony likely had to dig holes to put it all in.. If that's a fail, what's a win? lol..
I know a ton of people who own and have bought Wiis as presents or for personal use.
Don't hate..

If this is true Nintendo is going to F#$king bury the PS3 and the 360. By the time their greedy asses come up with something new in 2014, Nintendo will be on its next system.....always one step ahead. I love Nintendo.

and by the time their systems come out the wii 2 will be ancient, I am thinking a little more powerful than the 360 in terms of graphical ability and nothing more than a HD4670, the thing is we don't know much about the wii's gpu itself, most will say its just an overclocked version of the GC's gpu, but in reality theres no confirmed info on it except for some stuff thats not even related to it like wifi

I hope nintendo focus's on gameplay from the get go, and tries to take more of a range that satisfies all age groups because the wii was more of a kiddie console, I hope the best for them.

Nintendo is apparently 'courting' Rockstar for Project Cafe.

also according to 01net 'sources' this mockup is the most accurate.

From the get-go the Xenos chip was basically a prelude to the Cell Processor in the PS3. It was just IBM experimenting with the setup and making a conservative multi-core CPU. If Nintendo was really going to one-up the X360 they should have just gone straight for a Quad-Core Xenos with higher clocks (3.4Ghz would do it). As long as the architecture is still the same it wouldn't exactly make porting games any more difficult. If this system ends up literally being an Xbox360 with slightly updated specs, it will be a little gimped coming out of the gates (from a technical perspective).

As for the PowerPC Architecture, yea, it's still alive and kicking, but it's hardly the same. You could make a solid argument that most x86 CPU's are the same setup, but they are vastly differing within their own right. Sandy Bridge CPU's are definitely different from C2D\Q CPU's. The same can be said about the Power7\Watson setups, they are based on PowerPC, but they are greatly improved versions of what you'd see in the Xenos CPU.

lmao console whores criticizing the wii because it didin't try and fail to replace pc gaming. The truth is were I ever to get a console, it would be a wii.

Plus kudos to nintendo for already working ona replacement, unlike microshaft who just last month started hiring for the project to replace the 360 and sony who're doing what? making a new psp, regarless of how old the ps3 is.

seriously this is a start, hopefully this'll prompt sony and microsoft to get their acts together.

THIS THIS THIS!! This is exactly how I feel. When new consoles come out, they look almost as good as current high end PC's out there but then 6 months later, the consoles are considered trash and out of date. I'm not going to spend $2000 on a new tv to look at outdated graphics. :laugh:

However with all this being said, I am not a graphic enthusiast in video games. I look at gameplay first and personally, I find gameplay way better on a PC rather than consoles.

In the past, image quality on consoles was poor because of lack of resolution.
Back when the Playstation arrived, I said immediately that someday we will need support for higher resolutions and I don't see why they couldn't have wired that into the console for when people started buying better televisions or used their CRT monitors to play games on.

These days, consoles output 1080p.

Even with that obstacle removed, I have yet to see a console game that's on par with PC visuals. For two simple reasons..aliasing and filtering.

Consoles don't have the manual application/option, nor does the software developed for it have a suitable enough engine to support antialiasing and anisotropic filtering to a level that is anywhere near a PC's capabilities.

You can take the most photo realistic rendered scene with all the post processing bells and whistles, God rays, shaders and SSAO yet with horrific aliasing and muddy filtering and stack it up against a very clean and high resolution rendered scene with very crisp lines, and a nice soft blur around basic shadows(whether dynamic or static) and a strong filtering engine to help retain the resolution at a distance.

The latter is always going to look and 'feel' better. The former is going to be more noticeable because you have all this eye candy that helps it look realistic, and then you get these weird anomalies (jaggies etc.) which completely erode any sense of immersion.

Until consoles can overcome with consistency and on a level to match PCs, then they won't evolve in any significant way.

Which is why I have to agree that another console purchase won't be for quite some time.

@Yogurt

I thought the Wii was a joke at first, a gimmick at best. Then after a year or two I gave in and decide to get one. Big mistake. The novelty(and that's all it is) wore off so fast it wasn't funny. The only other purpose it might have is to act as a pseudo-media centre with it's connectivity options and browser capabilities; but the lack of file format recognition and the terrible browser engine means it failed utterly as anything other than a party trick for nine year olds when it's a rainy day.

The Wii had to exist as it's a building block, a stepping stone for future consoles. I guess that's it's real destiny.

Supposedly the successors to the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be unveiled or released in 2014, though personally i'd rather have something different then just ''more power'', same with Nintendo's new system, i hate how they went back on there idea that power means nothing, but games mean something.

Though i am still excited for it.:)

Uh are you suggesting a 'green' console?

Nintendo's consoles have always been the ''greenest''. I'd personally rather have more games then more power and that is what Nintendo's belief system was until they realized they were failing badly on the third party support and they themselves weren't bringing much out either and that was hurting their profits badly(their profits fell 66% according to the article). Hence releasing a new system with more power opens doors for more developer support which bring in more money.

So what they're doing is smart, but they're fairly hypocritical in what they set out to do.

well obviously nintendo wii outsold any other console out there, however games sales were a completely different story. It basically said "you're concept is awesome but your games suck." So beefing up the hardware may help provide better games with better graphics which is really what nintendo always used to do anyways.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Let me preface what I am about to say with the fact that I sold my wii after not playing it for 6+ months.

I don't think you ever spend less on a pc than a game console. A pc gets upgraded every couple of years, a console gets replaced every 5. Games cost about the same. New consoles have hdmi ports, so you can use them with any monitor that supports dvi; no need for a separate tv and monitor.

People complain about console graphics sucking. After a couple of years, any piece of hardware is old. Any of you still think Mario (SNES) is still worth playing? How about flash games, or games on your phone? Graphics do not imply good games. Ever!

Wii was a gimick, which Nintendo itself is saying will not last. I don't care about their upgrade on graphics, I care about the games. The pc generally offers more interaction options, so that's where I choose to spend my money. Nintendo will be worth my time when they have 3rd party, and a list of games worth playing long enough to hold my attention for more than 5 minutes.

In short, I need a graphically updated wii about as much as diabetic needs a sugar pill. It might look good from some perspective, but if you step back and look at the whole picture the option is less than thrilling.

so your illing to spend $500 on a consol that looks the same graphically as the last one only this one comes in mega bright white?

I gotta agree when the DC was released sega focused on games and appealed to every age group, but sadly it didn't last, . . . . . . . so sad.

hell i would donate to sega if they said they would try.
