The leaked specs denote the Wii 2 will get a Blu-ray drive (mainly to stop piracy), but will also support 1080P for games as well as movies. The new system is due out during the third quarter of next year and there will be the option to trade in old Wii's! More details below (translated from French): This is a nice exclusive we have here at MaxConsole courtesy of Artik from www.Logic-sunrise.com on the Wii 2. The actual information is said to have been leaked from an internal source of the marketing Nintendo France Service. Unlucky for them, this kind of information should stay internal, but that's not our philosophy. - The Wii2 system will feature a Blu-Ray drive with a secondary aim of stopping piracy. - 1080P and lower resolutions will be supported, for blu-ray movies and games. - The release date is scheduled for third quarter of 2010. - The release will be worldwide and on the same day for all countries. - A scheme will be available in which it is possible to trade in the original Wii for a cheaper price on the new Wii 2. Moreover, Nintendo wants to make a worlwide annoucement, only one month before release date. Huge publicity and Viral Marketing will be utilized to create the Buzz. Official pictures are not yet available, and more specs will be released in due course. Why do we believe it at all ? * Artik from Logic-Sunrise.com has regularly provided news to MaxConsole and has a lot of 'insider' contacts. * Nintendo has suggested that it's time they embraced high definition technology for the Wii and Blu-ray has firmly established itself. So a Wii 2 with Blu-ray support does make sense. Would have to say, everything there would make sense and fits in with typical Nintendo history. I'd definitely be on board for one of those, though one thing not mentioned that the Wii desperately needs is a far better storage solution. Let us chuck a hard drive in there and let WiiWare grow some real legs.

Without a decent improvement in GPU and CPU, there's not much point; I'd expect the specs to be at least equivalent of 360/PS3. In fact, I'd go as far to say that the specs will probably be around the same, but no better. This would make sense, as they could use essentially "off the rack" parts and get the power of either of those for a competitive price. Back-compat will be tricky though, unless they use an other evolution of the gamecube silicon; and I'm not sure wether that's up to the task.

Good luck with that. Where theres a will theres a way, and just like BluRay DVD's theres a way to copy and burn them.
