Nintendo Working on New console?!!

That's right! During a Forbes article about future game development, Iwata mentioned they were already in the very early stages of development!

"We are always preparing for the next hardware," Iwata said. "We are under development. ... But the hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games." Well, we wouldn't say reluctantly, because most people seem to be more than happy to pick up a Wii.

In terms of future specs, Iwata commented that every new piece of hardware "needs some revolutionary features." He also added that "This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can't tell." Considering what the company did with the Wii, we're totally expecting bigger and better things from Nintendo.

Wow, Nintendo, way to drop a bombshell! But seriously, do we really need a new console right now? No we don't. So I think it is kind of strange of Iwata to say something like that even though the Wii hasn't even been out for more than two years!
