TBH I was very disappointed when they announced the Wii U. I was hoping for a *new* console - not a Wii 2.0. The Wii U is what the Wii should have been.

woo! i'm stoked for this console! the controller is awesome and will lead to lots of new and fun ways to play games!

heck, for just the opportunity play Four Swords and Crystal Chronicles again as they were meant to be played would be epic.

love Nintendo! always have, always will.

oh yeah, and HD graphics are nice too.

Same, it doesnt feel like a new console at all. Just what the Wii should have been all along. I hope 2012 is the year for the next xbox & playstation too.

I garuantee there won't be a new generation Xbox console. They're just getting started with the Kinect. I predict about another 2-3 years before they announce the next generation Xbox. I can't speak on behalf of the Playstation thought, they don't seem interested in the Move at all so they may be planning a new console.

Meh, I'm not really, it seems like the move they needed to make, at this point in time, consoles are outliving their standard lifetime by a substantial amount so this will be around for awhile.

Are you kidding? That was one of the most comfortable controllers ever! In my opinion of course. MUCH better than the Nintendo 64 and Dual Shock controllers to me. It was on par with the original Xbox controller.

I think that there will be a new xbox at least announced in 2012. They can easily make Kinect compatible with a new console and continue their trend of offering crappy kinect games. I think Nintendo dropped the ball on this new console and microsoft knows it and will jump at the chance to steal some of their thunder.

I can definetly see them announcing a new console, but I don't expect an actual launch until around 2014-2015. As for Kinect, I don't know about backwards compatibility. I would expect them to release a new Kinect model, they're going to try to suck as much money as they can out of people with the whole "no controller" thing.

But, I will respectfully disagree with your statement about Kinect games being crappy. Sure, they are a little pricey, but some Kinect games are actually pretty fun. I hate dancing, but Dance Central is fun when you're playing with friends. The same goes for Kinect Sports, simple, but still loads of fun with a group of friends.

Anyway, back on topic.

They said its got a "Custom IBM Power 6 Chip "FOX" on 32 nm process 4 cores, each 2 way SMT capable cloaked at 3.5ghz". So it's an 4 cores 8 threads... basically a "8 cores" processor?

Sure is going to be expensive. My guess, 399.99-499.99.
