Wow, this month has been full of big rumors, especially for systems. We had that whole Nvidia rumor for the next-gen DS, and now we have a rumor for Wii 2. MaxConsole has a rumor on the successor to Wii that claims was leaked from an “internal source of the marketing Nintendo France Service”. Here is what they claim Wii 2 will include…

- Blu-Ray drive for games and movies, as well as piracy protection
- 1080p and lower resolution support
- Worldwide, same day release in Q3 2010
- Trade-in program available to trade in original Wii for a cheaper price on Wii 2.
- Announcement will be made one month before release date, with huge publicity and viral marketing

First things first, I don’t believe it. 2010 is too soon, I think, and I don’t really believe the whole trade-in program stuff. Having said that, this source does have some credibility. A couple months before Wii was released, MaxConsole did leak some specs for Wii and if you look at it now… it seems they were right, despite the great numbers of people who thought it was fake. And so, I’d say to take this rumor with a grain of salt. It’s not very believable to me, but then again, I didn’t believe they would release a DSi with just a bigger screen so soon… so who knows what’s up with this. What do you think, true or false?
