The rumor comes courtesy of French language site Logic-Sunrise which cites a “very stable source” (at lest that’s how Yahoo’s BableFish translates it). It also indicates that Nintendo may be waiting to announce the Wii 2 until one month prior to the system’s release.
The Wii 2 features and other bullet-list items listed in the post include:
Again, these are unconfirmed rumors based on a foreign site. MaxConsole indicates that the rumor suggests Wii 2 will be available the third quarter of 2010 although the French site does not appear to mention Q3.
The closest ting to a confirmation is Shigeru Miyamoto’s interview with Popular Mechanics where he talks about the next Wii (not necessarily the “Wii 2″) as being “more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient.”
I’m waiting for an official comment from Nintendo concerning this Wii 2 rumor.
Update: Nintendo’s official, although not surprising, response via a PR representative is: “We do not respond to rumors and speculations.”
