In an interview with Forbes, President Satoru Iwata gave some insight on the development of Nintendo's next home console after Wii.
"We're always preparing for the next hardware. We are under development. But the hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games, so every hardware needs some revolutionary features. This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can't tell. It's natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different. If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it's going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again".
Of course this is in the distant future, but which direction will Big N take for the Wii's successor? I would expect HD graphics is a given. Better online gaming? Mind control? The truth is out there!
