No one can argue that the Nintendo Wii found tremendous success since the beginning, but everyone also knows that it can’t last forever. As a result, Nintendo is expected to unveil a successor to the Wii around 2010.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much information going aroudn about the next-gen Wii from Nintendo and it’s hard to imagine how it might look. However, the but guys at T3 Magazine tried to find the answer. The system that you see in the picture is the result of their imagination and here is how T3 explains it.

Our awesome artist’s impressions, part of the future tech feature in the new issue of T3 Magazine, showcase a Wii headset accessory that uses brainwaves to control characters and also feature immersive in-ear headphones. Sweet.

We’ve also imagined a streamlined Wii Remote with just the one button. You point and press, your frontal lobes do the rest.

Looks really futuristic and cool, but it’s all very much tongue-in-cheek. Still, food for thought. Literally.

Games Consoles are usually update or replaced every five or six years in order to make use of the latest technology and to compete with gaming on the PC which is usually preforms better.

Of course, next generation consoles like the Xbox360 and PS3 have changed the situation and now provide competitive performance and graphics while the Nintendo Wii became the best selling games console in the world thanks to its innovative controllers.

Moreover, games on todays consoles look better and are a lot more fun, but that’s not the limit. WIRED BLOG NETWORK examines what a game market analyst predicted in an interview with GamePro.

Two new machines from Nintendo and Microsoft will reach the market by the end of 2010, which would be a record in between hardware releases.

According to the article, the increasing pace of the tech materials will force both companies to keep up, creating even better graphics while using chips that are getting smaller, cheaper, and more powerful.

As for Sony and its third-place PS3, here’s hoping that they concentrate on leveraging their Blu-ray win and making their powerful machine way cheaper.

I believe that after some five years games will become too close to movies in terms of realism. Nintendo’s Wii 2 definitely will provide better graphics and with sensitive controllers it again would become the most wanted console. Although we might see another innovation from Microsoft or Sony that might cover Nintendo’s success. Hard to believe but competition makes wonders.
