It 's the right time for a new Nintendo console?

The big N could anticipate Sony and Microsoft, with all the advantages of the case as revealed by several sources, it seems that Nintendo will announce the successor to the Wii at E3 this year or even earlier, with the launch of the console set for the end 2012. The house of Kyoto has not made any comments about it, but the line-up presented to the press, given the small number of Wii titles, was just thinking the announcement of a new console soon.

Beyond speculation, the most important questions are those born in the last hours: the new platform will have an unprecedented system of control? According to IGN the new controller could even incorporate a screen, and then be completely different from the Wii-mote. The graphics will be equal (or superior, as argued by Kotaku) to Xbox 360 and PS3? The company will give the necessary importance to the multiplayer then? While awaiting a reply, we can make a few comments in terms of timing and intentions.

According to Game Informer, Nintendo want to create a completely new brand, taking some distance from the Wii and looking especially to meet the tastes of Western gamers. The news that neither Sony nor Microsoft are planning to announce a new console in a short time, also create a time window that Nintendo could use to build a substantial edge over the competition.

Moreover, the realization of a system in some way "different" is rifarebbe an approach already tested, thus offering users a device that does not arise in direct competition with others but that is just able to offer alternative features. Source: Gamasutra
