Against older rivals Nintendo could imagine a good chance with new technology. In order to allow more time for games forging appropriate gaming software, the publication could be delayed even until 2012.

The sale price is expected is between 350 and 400 U.S. dollars, if one applies the production costs as a basis. It would also be possible that Nintendo first makes a loss, to lower the starting price, only to earn the accessories and games. A similar strategy had Sony and Microsoft followed with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. As the production takes place in Taiwan, there should be no interference by the disaster in Japan.

For the necessary graphics performance will probably make the R700 graphics chip from AMD, which is specially adapted for "Project Cafe.

This allows the graphics output in full HD resolution (1080p) take place. Whether this is a stereoscopic 3D effect is not known, however, would be theoretically possible.

The housing of the console is in size with the first Xbox 360 and be similar to the classic Super Nintendo (SNES) are similar. The controller is still a mystery. First concepts show an integrated 6-inch touchscreen, which can allegedly be used to receive some games via stream and use without an external screen. Whether the Wii's successor, this system will actually use is questionable, since the costs would be high.

The name is currently "Stream" considered, but was not made a decision in this regard. It would be one of many product that Nintendo is currently considering.
