    Nintendo is hoping that they will be able to get more of the ? market with this new machine. 3rd parties being able to make games across all 3 platforms until at least 2014 would be great for nintendo, but they have a lot of work to do in other regards. I don't think devs have so much a problem with making games for the Nintendo, in itself. Problem is Nintendo is notoriously bad to work with for 3rd parties in comparison to microsoft and sony. Theres a massive risk for 3rd parties making games for nintendo, and even when devs have a real banger on their hands the risks they take doesn't pay off. As a result 3rd parties seem pretty jaded.

    I predicted the EXACT same thing in advance of Sony's conference last year and was 100% correct.

    Somebody post the pics of the mock ups of the controller and system. That controller is sick. It's Mashable.

    Basically. But its really just not that hard to tell what Sony will do. Its always leaked, announced too far in advance, or something Nintendo did years before.

    But why would consumers buy the aging Wii when a newer and reportedly far more powerful game machine (one rumored to have touch-screen controllers in fact) is on the horizon?

    "When we launch our new home system sometime in 2012 we think the consumer buying in will look very different than the consumer who's going to be buying a Wii now," Fils-Aime said.
