Wikipedia is doing nothing more than speculating. They're as clueless as we are, just basing on Nintendo's history of console releases and estimating as best they can.

I certainly hope so, I'd say Fall 2011 launch is probable, but Spring 2012 is more likely

Nintendo is gonna wanna get out first nex gen, and if they can deliver a console that is a step up for devs that is cheap to dev for too that'd be great

I'm hoping something at least with Quad-Core CPU, GPU at least twice of the HD Twins, and 1-2GBs RAM. By 2012 that should all reasonably fit into a $200-$300 package

Wikipedia knows about as much as you do. Which is NOTHING. There is a reason why teachers don't allow Wikipedia as a source for research papers.

because it's been proved that it's as reliable as the britannica? just because they have access to the same info as us doesn't mean they aren't reliable on anything. of course that using it to confirm speculations is stupid, but don't try to make it sound like a 10 year old wrote the things wikipedia was made for.

you're all over the place lately!

I honestly don't see Nintendo releasing a console anytime soon. With a nice 2009 holiday, and all the things coming out in 2010.. they're only going to make more people want to buy a Wii.

Sales would have to drop drastically in order for them to even think about releasing a new one. If it does happen, I would lay money on it dropping holiday 2012 or 2013.

According to "james the angry nintendo nerd"the 6th nintendo console won't release till fall 2011. That'll be exactly 5 years and that's the pattern of nintendo. Besides the wii is losing support and is being copied by competitors in the motion control area. The graphics isn't getting better either on the wii. Time is running out. 2012 is toooooo far away. I say NOVEMBER 2011 for NINTENDO #6.

That all sounds about right except the freinds codes, they need to get rid of them and have a universal online system where you have a single account name that works on every online game and a universal freinds list.

That and I see it coming out in late 2011, around the holiday season.

If its 2012 nintendo will lose there 1st place position for sure by then. The wii can last that long but 2011 is the best bet. If things continue on this path the way it is now nintendo will win its first generation since the Snes but they need to launch in 2011 because I do see the competition slowly catching up over time

I meant to say I can't see the wii in first place in 2012. The 6th nintendo has to come out in 2011. 1)Third parties leaving 2)Gamecube graphics 3)Friend codes 4)Poor online 5)HD-less system I can go on and on. This has to be the last full year for this system in order for nintendo to win. Fall 2011 is thee year. Plus I hope it isn't called Wii 2 or Wii HD or super Wii. Just change the name again please

Will we all be still here by 2012? ...didn't you guys watch that movie..,.we're all doom in 2012 ..the Mayan calendar said so. :P

I hope there will be a new system :) ...since the competitors have also gone motion control. Wii motion may lose its edge.

Whenever it comes, I think it will struggle. I hate to see any system struggle, but I think it will be very difficult for Nintendo to get anywhere near as much success nextgen as they have this with the Wii. Obviously, there are enough core gamers who will buy it but then, judging by the attitude you see in SW, there are plenty of gamers who stubbornly and ignorantly will never touch another Nintendo product after this gen, and then there are the casual(for want of a better word) gamers, who have bought a Wii as their first games system, and will either not be aware, or not see any point in the next Nintendo system, as they are quite happy on their Wii Fit.

Obviously it all depends on what the next console is, whether it will give a new reason for the non-gamers to buy it, whether they will appeal to the people who see themselves as HARDCORE etc, etc. but only time will tell.

I'll go with the five year cycle and say 2011. It still feels too soon though.

lol the ranting of fanboys in SW is no way reflective of reality which, is anything outside of system wars. I've seen Disney movies that are more reflective of reality than the dribble that is systems wars. Anyway when your the market leader, the ball is in your court, its your game to lose. That's what Nintendo did back in the late 90's, that what Sony did back in 2006. As long as they don't stick their own foot in their mouth again, the market will not make a dramatic change like that.
