Wii 2 Unlikely For 2011, Maybe In 2012

An anonymous reader writes "As discussed on Slashdot earlier this year, the lack of a next-generation Wii may be hurting Nintendo. That doesn't seem to concern the company's US chief, Reggie Fils-Aime, who said this week that a Wii 2 might not appear until 2012. He wants to sell a few million more consoles before a successor is launched. So, no Wii 2 for 2010 or 2011 — meanwhile, the PS3 and Xbox consoles get motion control support and other content enhancements. What does that mean for the success of Nintendo's gaming console business? Has the innovator been out-innovated due to a sluggish product roadmap?"

    Ya, at this rate it won't be released until Dec 20. 2012, and we'll only get one day to play it.

    But that, my brother, will be one glorious day.

    Or they should go retro and call it the WiiNES. Anyone want to play with my WiiNES?
