Social Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Quote from conference: "In the very near future we'll be launching another console that will go even further in making games accessible and fun for everyone." Anyone have a guess? New gameboy maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Surely they're talking about the Wii? 'Very near future' and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfHyrule Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If that quote is from a native English speaker and not a translation from Japanese and is recent, I actually don't think it's the Wii they're talking about; language like "another console" and "even further" suggest something separate from the Wii altoegther. Likely a handheld, but why? Isn't the DS enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 In two months I'm sure this is hyped up so much that we're expecting DS 2 to launch end of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 well the wii is only gamecube 1.5, so you'd expect a true next gen system soon. Maybe 2 years when HDTV's are common. Nintendo need that long for the hype machine to roll. They probably already have the technology ready. <<FLAMEBAIT ALERT>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 They're talking about the Wii, notice how they addressed the audience as though not many of them knew anything? "Did you know the DS has a touch-screen"... that press conference was aimed at people who didn't realise the Wii was on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, its the specifications that clearly matter most. How stupid of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it wont stop people speculating all manner of things. Hope that there was avideo or audio recording for clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
