* the console is codenamed "Project Café"
* will be introduced at E3 2011
* architecture is very similar to the Xbox 360; the Café is a bit more powerful than the 360
* porting current xbox 360 titles to the Café should be very easy
* should be retro-compatible with GameCube and Wii games, and support all Wii peripherals
* Specs : CPU is custom IBM PowerPC with three cores, GPU should be an ATI from the R700 family, with a shader unit at version 4.1. Ram should be at least 512 Mb.
* the controller is a touch tablet, with moderate graphic output (appears to be sub-HD, so nothing comparable to an Ipad, for example.)
* controller specs : 6-inch screen, single touch (so no multitouch, it seems), front camera, acts as a wii sensor bar, has a d-pad, two bumpers, two triggers, possibly more.
* should be released in June of 2012 (for Japan ?), and holiday season (in the West ?)
* there is another big surprise they can't talk about just yet
