Nintendo's New Console to be Unveiled in 2004
From GameSpot:
Jeremy
Nintendo also revealed today that it plans to unveil its next-generation console at E3 in May next year. Nintendo's executive director Jinyou Mori stated that the company hopes to release the unannounced next-generation console during the next fiscal year in Japan, and also commented that a simultaneous worldwide release would be ideal.

So they are going to release it in 2004, or just reveal it? I hope it's the later.

yeah, makes sense to me. it is poor business to keep investing in a product that loses money. at least risk it and develop a new product... hmm.. typical technology industry model.
a 3 year console cycle may be too long.

I have not bought a console near it's release since the Super Nintendo, but after everything Nintendo has done this generation, they have my money barring some act of pure retardation.

The last one I bought beside the Cube and all the GBA's was the Dreamcast. I will be passing on the Xbox for a little while, unless some really great games come out, and PS3 will be passed on for atleast 2 years unless they really step up there hardware quality control ( IMO, otherwise ill have some fanboys on my ass).

Well, they don't have DevKits out yet, so it is going to be rough to get any 3rd party games on the system before launch if this story is correct. I have a feeling this is all bullshit and is just Nintendo hype.

I wonder if Animal Crossing 2 fell off the face of development?

I think it'll be a successor to the GameBoy and not to the GC as you all are predicting. It doesn't make sense for them to release a new console when this one hasn't been out that long. Granted the GC has under-performed in almost every market, but I think the price cuts will remedy that.
This is going to be some sort of PSP competitor if you ask me. They don't want Sont to push them out of the only market that they dominate and that supplies them with a regular stream of income.

If we do see a sucessor to the GBA-SP, it won't be until Nintendo sees how consumers react to Sony's new handheld.

They would be smart to keep the Gamecube alive as a portable system - the mini-discs are portable enough, and they could combine the connectivity between the two systems into one. Regardless, they also have to keep backwards compatability with their previous handhelds.

I think this may also be somewhat of a misunderstanding too and that the console will be revealed next year but not released next next year. Some news sites have conflicting reports as to what will be released and whether this refers to their new China console or not. I think all the major players will have some info about their next-gen plans by next year. I doubt they'll be able to release before next Christmas though. Maybe they'll release in Japan next year and in the US the year after that? Just thinking out loud here......

I think the language of the release is quite clear:
- this is a new "console"
- the "next" E3 takes place in 2004
- the "next" Japanese fiscal year concludes in March 2005
- this is a new "console"
- the "next" E3 takes place in 2004
- the "next" Japanese fiscal year concludes in March 2005

Wait... a couple weeks ago there was mention of the possibility of Microsoft's next generation console being released within a year or two and everyone attacked the move. Now we hear something similar from Nintendo and everyone cheers?
