According to Japanese newspaper 'Mainichi Shinbun', Nintendo's next-generation console will be unveiled at E3 in 2005. Due to a misinterpretation of Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata's statements about the company's console future, another newspaper, 'Nihon Keizai Shinbun', led several internet sites in reporting that the console was going to be pushed back until 2007. Clarifying about th new machine, Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa assured people that the comapny "intends to show it at E3 next spring."
Given that the first official unveiling may come in mid-2005, the system will likely see a release in 2006, the year Sony's PlayStation 3 is expected to be released. Microsoft's follow-up to the Xbox will see a release around the same time, but sources have hinted at the possibility of a late 2005 release. Microsoft was expected to unveil(a little more)information at the Game Developers Conference in March.

I always like reading about what's next in the way of game consoles! I remember how excited I was when I first heard about the Xbox!
