Rumors for a possible name range from Wii 2 to Project Cafe. There are also few bankable details about the new console's look, power and capabilities. Nintendo was the first to come up with motion-detectors to control a game and has recently released a successful, hand-held 3-D game system that does not require special glasses to get a 3-D effect. Whether the next Wii includes 3-D images, however, is unknown.
The initial success of the Wii system has fallen off considerably. In its first-quarter financial statement, Nintendo said revenue fell 29 percent to $12.4 billion in 2010 with profits dropping 66 percent to $948 million.
