Kotaku is reporting that Nintendo might be dialing up the awesome (finally) in preparation to debut a new console this year at E3 - a console that will apparently leapfrog both the Xbox 360 and PS3 in performance. And that wouldn't be half bad - while the Wii was a smash hit upon its debut, who cares about motion controlled gaming now? You? If it's you, I'm sorry.
The Wii is sadly on its last legs; third party development is weak, motion control is dead(ish)... hell, the Wii doesn't even have a hard drive or HD Out. These things do not a viable console make, and if the rumours are true, Nintendo's about to get serious. If they can revolutionize gaming as they've done so many times before (Gamecube notwithstanding), it should be a very exciting June.
