Wii 2, Camera Controls incorporated?



This is a concept for the controller (fan-made)
It seems that rumors are being thrown around all over the place about this next-gen console from Nintendo; it's currently codenamed Project Cafe, but the real name will be revealed to us at E3 or maybe a little before!

It seems now that they will be incorporating camera controls into the system; this means that they are probably trying to compete with Kinect from Microsoft. Reading more about this, some are saying that the 3DS may be able to be used as a stand in for the camera if you don't have one!

EA, probably developing for Next-gen Xbox



According to IGN, Electronic Arts may very well be designing games for the next-generation Xbox, already! The case, according to them, just looks like a normal computer - like many early consoles look like, before they have any real design.

The updates on IGN's story tell that the console is probably going to be coming around 2013, but the people at Electronic Arts (EA) don't know what the console really looks like or much about it; they said it was from a trusted source, but who knows - Nintendo is announcing their console at E3 this year, although, Microsoft won't announce one this year, they may announce one next year and release it in 2013.

Some people are joking that it's just going to be a 360 with a Kinect duct taped to the side...

Sony, Announces two Android tablet computers



Apple already has their insanely popular Ipads and Ipad 2's on the market, so it's not very surprising that other companies want in on the tablet market. Sony has announced two new Android tablet computers codenamed S1 and S2.

S1 will have WiFi, 3G and 4G (for those in a 4G area). Also, it will have a front and a back camera, allowing you to take photos of yourself or of things right in front of you, while still looking at the screen; the Ipad 2 also has this, but it's expensive - maybe this'll beat the price? The screen on S1 is 9.4 inches. It can also be used as a remote for some of the other Sony devices out there.

S2 has a 5.5 inch screen, a (1024x480) resolution and can stream video and play games. The controls on S2 are on the back for gaming; these are touch sensitive, so they aren't really buttons - kind of like the PS3 touch control to turn it on and off.

Each of these devices can connect to the Playstation Network and download things like Playstation Classics (PSone games) and other games. These tablets currently have no price announced, but I am expecting it won't be too long before the price becomes known. These are supposed to be  released in Fall of this year, 2011.
