Is their speculation complete BS or do you think it's possible, or even probable?

I'd be amazed if there weren't a new Ninty console by 20-freaking-11.  I was expecting something much sooner--not completely new hardware, just a refresh with a resolution boost and a hard drive.

I hope they keep the code name  ^-^

nvm it showed up, while it may be bull this was completley unexpected. I dont want a new refurbished wii, even though i like its chosen colors, i want something new or cutting edge. Just how nintendo used to do. N64 w/ cartridges to gamecube which was cubular to wii which was motion sensored. Thats why i like nintendo because they are always coming out with new things. I love sony and microsoft systems too but they lack overall creativity. I mean sony said that its next console is going to have motion sensor controllers as well. I love their games but in terms of inovation they can suck nintendo's balls

Look at their handheld systems. It seems like they've came out with an updated model once a year since the OG gameboy was released.

Cubular?  The shape was innovative?  Certainly being disc-based wasn't new at that time.

The SNES' was just a power upgrade with some more buttons.  The N64 was another power boost with the somewhat innovative analog stick.  But Sony beat the gamecube to the punch with dual-analog.

Nintendo should take the time to make their latest innovation, the wiimote, really work.  Otherwise it really was just a gimmick.  They haven't been a super-innovative company with their hardware until the DS and Wii.  I personally don't want them thinking they need a new thing-a-ma-jig every year.  When what they should be doing is making better use of the IR camera they already have.
