According to Evan Wilson who is an analyst of Pacific Crest Securities, Nintendo & Microsoft should be unveiling their next-gen consoles in 2010. That means we only have 2 more years until we can put our hands on some brand new top of the line technology. I am sure both the Nintendo Wii II and the new Xbox (whatever they call it…maybe the Xbox 720?) will both be a hit among gaming fans. However, I am hoping that Nintendo will decide to leave the “party machine” console behind and focus more on graphics and gameplay…rather than just basic games with new virtual reality type controls. The Wii’s novelty has just worn off for me so I am not wanting a part II that is just a remake of the same thing. I guess we will just have to wait and see what both developers have in store for us in the future. Also, with Nintendo and Microsoft planning releases in the next two years we can assume Playstation 4 won’t be far behind them. I for one am excited about the possibility of these new next-gen console arrivals. Let’s hope we hear some more solid news soon.

After watching an interview with an Ex-Midway employee on FOX, it is completely obvious that the former employee was robbed of his dream. Not only did he come up with the idea, but he also had working versions of it 8 years ago! Which of course is long before the Nintendo Wii ever came out. Of course, the employee had great faith in the new video game controller technology and wanted to secure his piece of the pie for it. Apparently the ex-employee was fired from Midway games a few months after requesting royalties on the future of this project. As time passed though the ex-employee felt the idea had been dropped until the day he saw the first Nintendo Wii commercial. Ouch! What a way to learn you got robbed by two of the biggest companies in the industry. Nintendo’s defense for the situation is that they took the idea to another level and expanded it beyond what the former employee had ever done. However, by watching the video I feel that statement is untrue. Don’t believe me or want more information? Check out the video below! By the way, I still love Nintendo and will support them to the end, but I do feel they did this guy pretty wrong!!
