It appears from 'multiple' sources who have given GameInformer the skinny, Nintendo is to reveal a Hi-Def console at E3.The report states rather unhelpfully that, "There are conflicting reports, however, as to whether its graphics will be comparable to those on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – meaning it could surpass or fall short of those systems. Either way it will offer competitive specifications."
If and when the HD system hits the market - and this is possibly going to be 2012 - it will not be a "a gimmick like the Wii", according to one anonymous source.
Nintendo is not commenting on this rumour of course.
