The chip's been announced, making it pretty easy to check out the specs of the graphics on it.
...In a lot of ways it's actually more powerful than the Wii.
Hmm... I think I figured out why Nintendo didn't announce a "Wii 2". This may just end up "phasing out" the Wii all by itself. Here's a question. Is there a "multi-input/output" on there that could be designed to output video and audio to a TV? The PSP (second model and later) all have this capability, negating the need for any sort of "Super Gameboy" style accessory. The games may not be 3D, but there'd be potential for games to have "TV modes" that make full use of that resolution. Further, if the 3DS uses blutooth, there's the ability to connect Wii remotes to it. There's some interesting potential here.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
