My Take: The Real Reason People Should Get Excited About Nintendo’s New Console
For the past week or so the web has been on fire with rumors and speculation about Nintendo’s new console, currently being referred to by some by its alleged code-name “Project Cafe” and others by its rumored final name of “Stream.” Especially now that the company has itself acknowledged the system’s existence and pointed to a giant E3 2011 unveil.

Today in Gaming – 4/22/11: PSN Outage and EA Sports Subscription

It’s the potential price , though, that seems to be the most surprising aspect of the newest batch of rumors. Being the cheapest console certainly wasn’t the primary reason for the Wii becoming the best-selling system this generation

Nintendo’s New Console Could Cost $400 and Have Two Distinct Controllers
Project Café may be the code name of Nintendo’s next console but “Stream” is rumored to be one of the names in consideration for the final product.
