We came, we saw, and we played Nintendo's follow up to the Wii. It was not surprising. I'm not saying that because I think the system is boring; in fact, I walked away impressed by the potential. I'm saying that because as I predicted, the rumors we've been hearing for months were fairly accurate. You likely already know the gist of new console, called Wii U, so let's get the facts out of the way first. That's mainly what we'll deal with here in this preview.

We got our hands on the newly named PSVita after Sony's Press Conference. Sony released several details about their newest handheld but left many questions for us to speculate about.

On release date, Sony offered a "Holiday 2011" launch for Vita. When I questioned them about if this was meant for the Japanese market only, I was told that Sony is trying for a worldwide release this year. If they can pull it off, that will cause a serious problem for Nintendo's 3DS sales during the Holiday of 2011.
