Amid DSi LL Hoopla, Wii 2 Details Leaked

Seems there's just a bumper crop of Nintendo news stories today, and while the web is in a tizzy about the new DSi LL (XL, to us Yanks) there's another tidbit that will be heating up soon. A Nintendo of France employee has leaked some details about the upcoming Wii 2 (due out third quarter next year). Apparently, Wii 2.0 will feature a blu-ray drive, support 1080P for movies and games, and have a trade-in option on your old Wii. Nintendo of course will probably disavow all knowledge of the leak, but if I hear anything along these lines from another faceless employee, I might be tempted to think they're accurate.

What do you think? Is it too soon for the Wii 2, or are you ready for it? If they make it easy on me to tranfer my games and files, and the trade-in scheme IS indeed fact, I can see myself backing off on the "too soon" assessment.

If this is really a new Nintendo console, and not an upgraded version such as the DSi, then it's definitely too soon. The Wii hasn't been around enough yet to warrant a full-blown replacement.

I mostly agree. I think the trade-in option could relieve some buyer burnout but I still feel like we're at least two years away from a new console cycle.
