Nintendo has long since announced a successor to the Wii console. It supposedly has HD capability with a blue ray disk drive and possible 3D compatibility. Heh, right! A friend of mine mentioned that if Nintendo does release a new system, it’s only as good as the competition makes it out to be. This means that if the next Xbox and Playstation are announced at the same time or shortly after this new Wii, it means that it may be a force to be reckoned with.
Super Mario’s home company has even gotten a bigger jump on Sony and Microsoft by having playable consoles at this year’s 2011 E3 convention in Los Angeles. And now, Sony says that they have officially begun development on a new Playstation. Nintendo definitely upped the stakes, and Sony has no choice but to continue in the console race since the Playstation Network debacle has left them a bit crippled. Also, if Nintendo and Sony are announcing new systems, Microsoft won’t be far behind with a new Xbox.
Speculation aside, these companies will either stay in the game, or stand aside, but the competition will be fierce. More on this soon, but check out the articles below!
