Time for a quick round-up of the "New Nintendo HD Console for E3" details currently doing the rounds. Well, 'details' maybe pushing a point.... but here we go.
First up: Nintendo has an HD console for release in 2012 being announced at E3 this year.
Next up: It's going to have Blu-ray according to... anonymous sources talking to the completely un-invested Blu-ray.com, which states, "Sources have revealed to Blu-ray.com that Nintendo are looking at including Blu-ray as the main optical drive. This would be a natural progression from the Wii which uses DVD, but it isn't clear if Nintendo would enable BD movie playback..."
Next, next up, "Nintendo's Wii successor is set to utilise an entirely new controller and will be more powerful than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, well-placed international industry sources have told CVG."
Guess what? CVG reports that IGN reports more about the... CVG story.
Nintendo's saying nothing but must be loving the fact that these stories all undermine that fact that (according to anonymous sources) Microsoft will reveal Xbox 720 at E3... or something.

Unlikely will it have Blu Ray at all. The Wii couldn't even playback DVD movies. Nintendo are very economical with their hardware. How many 360 games used more than one disc? DVDs will do Nintendo just fine, for now.

if the wii had blu ray playback i think it would sell very well to those who haven't got a blu ray player in the home. but i wonder if sony will let them have the tech for that.
