Nintendo confirms Wii's successor in 2012

Official presentation at E3 addensatesi After several rumors in recent days, comes the official confirmation from Nintendo that a new home console, Wii destined to succeed, it will arrive on the market in 2012. The console, which still has no name, will therefore be presented at E3 2011 to be held June 7 to 9.

This is confirmed through an official statement from Nintendo, although sales of the new machine has not yet been included in the financial plans for the next fiscal year ending March 2012, bringing to think of a possible exit from next April. The new console, the rumor has the codename "Project Cafe" and so would be the first next-gen machine to reach the market as both Sony and Microsoft, it seems, would want to wait until 2014 first to present their alternatives.

According to rumors, absolutely not official, the new Nintendo console would have a hardware that can compete (if not exceed) the current console in high definition with special controllers that combine the traditional interface, the motion sensing and even - apparently - a touch screen.

We look forward to with trepidation the Nintendo E3 conference. Source: Nintendo Press release (PDF)
