As we all know, the next generation of consoles is  just around the corner! The first of the new breed that we will see will be the Nintendo Wii U (unless of course you count the PS Vita).

The Wii U was first shown at E3 2011 – or, should I say, the controllers were shown at E3 – which lead to some confusion that the Wii U was just a tablet (like the iPad). This of course is thankfully not the case.

We now know that the Wii U is set to release in the second half of 2012, which may or may not have been earlier then the big N wanted to. This is possibly in response to Sony releasing the aforementioned Vita and the high probability that Microsoft and Sony must are surely working on their next consoles and planning to release them fairly soon.

But is it a good idea to release a console a head of schedule?

Hey there gamers,

There has been a lot of talk lately from various sources saying that both Microsoft and Sony will unveil their next generation home video game consoles at this year’s E3 Expo in June.

Well here is what I think will happen:

Why the Wii U isn’t really “Next Gen”

Nintendo have recently (relatively) announced their next console – the Nintendo Wii U.

The Nintendo Wii was both a surprising and amazing success after launching in 2006, selling entering the year having sold 84.64 million units – a number so high that they are not really selling that well anymore is because everyone already freaking has one! As a follow up console, Nintendo wanted to reach out to the people who (unless you loved Nintendo’s first-party games) haven’t really been looked after – or considered with this console, intentionally.
