As the guys mentioned in this week’s podcast, the latest PS3 rumor is that Sony is planing to drop the price for the Playstation in August, but this was never talked about at E3 to answer a lot of the rumors surrounding the price cut. The Playstation is lagging behind in sales to the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Hit the clicky thingie to read more…

Hopefully this rumor is true even though Sony is denying it all. Then again these are the same people who denied the existence of the PSP Go and we all know that was a lie. The Wii is at the top spot for units sold, with 714,200 outselling Playstation 2, 3, PSP and Xbox 360 combined! Coming in second is the DS which moved 414,800 last month.  If Sony plans on jumping ahead of the Xbox 360 it better plan on at least coming out with a bundle or actually come through and drop the price… We’ll see.

In other news some pictures that were turned into the patent office revealed the look for the new Playstation motion controller. These pics have been registered by Sony for a year but since the look of the remote on E3 was laughable, (what was with that pink ball on the top of the controller) I hope it has some truth to it.

I was searching on the Nintendo website when I found a post that was titled Black Wii, I squealed with excitement but the link took me the the Japan site for Nintendo. The sales for the Wii are lacking in the foreign state and hopfully their answer is in the new color.  the controller will also be black but the bad news is… its only available in Japan, there has been no word on a release in the States.

Another release to Japan will be the new color for the DSi, Red. That makes the sixth color for the DSi including White, Black, Pink, Lime Green, Metallic Blue, and now Red. Could you imagine a Lime green Wii or even a pink one…?

Sorry, Westerners, only the Japanese will get to connect their Wiis to their Wooos, in what sounds like some kind of digital age naughty party. Hitachi unveiled their Wooo UT Series flat-panel HDTV line featuring things like 120Hz video processing, iVDR ports and even a 250GB hard drive. Hmm. We don’t have hard drives in our TVs over here. Not fair!

So Nintendo has outed themselves as working on a new console. Some might question the sanity in this since the Wii is still hard to find off and on. On the other hand, Nintendo is lagging behind Sony and MS in terms of hardware specs / graphics capabilities.

So what will their next console be? In a piece on Forbes.com, Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata almost seemed to be warning people that the next Nintendo console might not be as cool as the Wii. Of course he didn’t actually say that, but he did say this:

“Every hardware needs some revolutionary features,” Iwata says. “This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can’t tell.

“It’s natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different,” he continues. “If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it’s going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again.”

So is that Nintendo being cautious or giving us a heads-up that the next Nintendo console might be as much of a relative suckfest as the last one? Ahem.

What do you think the next Nintendo console will be? What do you think it SHOULD be?
