It’s a very vague launch date given that they plan to have a working prototype to show at the E3 Expo in LA in June 2011.
The update, though still a long way off, is none to soon, with the xBox Kinect fast on the Wii’s on the Wii’s heels. Wii still owns the mindshare for interactive, family-friendly games, but Kinect looks like it still has a year before Nintendo can come back with a response.
We love the Wii, and it’s still a hit in our house for games we can play together and for Wii Fit, but technology moves so fast that’s it’s surprising that an update is still so far away, not too mention, apparently after the holiday season.
