Wii 2 is in Production

Nintendo says they will be releasing a new version of the popular Wii that will "Offer a new way of playing games." Nintendo has not released any information about the second Wii except that it will be available for purchase sometime in 2012. Nintendo says they will unveil the Wii's counterpart for the first time at the Electronic Entertainment Convention in Los Angeles on June 7. There are rumors  from multiple sources that the Wii 2 will feature touch screens on the controllers, be capable of graphics in HD quality, and be more powerful then the PS3 and Xbox 360.According to IGN, the Wii 2 will have game streaming capability for each controller, cost between $400 and $350, and roughly be the size of the first-generation Xbox. Nintendo hasn't said anything about these claims, but it's likely that the Wii 2 will not feature 3-D graphics due to the fact that 3-D televisions haven't gained wide acceptance yet. The original Wii was a system with a revolutionary idea that will hopefully improve to match it's fierce competition.
