Several separate reports seem to have confirmed that Nintendo's next generation of home will appear some time around E3.

Reports on Game Informer and IGN hold the belief that the 2 will be announced either at E3 or juts before it.

The IGN report even gives a few details about the hardware, that it will be similar in spec to the and and will be backwards compatible.

Meanwhile, Edge Online are reporting that the big three publishers, EA, and are already in possession of kits for Nintendo's new machine.
