-Significantly more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3
-Backwards compatible with all Wii software
-Blu-Ray player
-Said to come with two controllers, motion sensing one and classic one
-classic controller will be somewhat like an iPad with "6" single touch screen, d-pad, "L and R," two triggers, and "others." The functionality of the Wii's sensor bar has now been integrated into the controller, which would mean that you'd just use your controller as a sensor bar for Wiimote gameplay. It would a sport a front facing camera. (basically an iPad with buttons as they're calling it)
-Somewhat similar architecture to the 360, allowing third parties easier development
-Will likely be priced at around $350-$400
-Could very possibly launch this October or November
- Tech details (gonna quote hear as I really dont have too much of an idea about what this means)
-size will be comparable to original 360, design will resemble a modernized SNESAdditionally, IGN has learned that the system will be based on a revamped version of AMD's R700 GPU architecture, not AMD's Fusion technology as previously believed, which will, as previously reported, out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Like the Xbox 360, the system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster. The system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, though it has not been determined whether that will be a staple feature.
-Touchscreen and streaming essentially confirmed
-Possible name of "Stream" along with others being considered
