There is not much information on the console yet and the official name is also unconfirmed.
The system is expected to be demonstrated at E3 in May 2005. It is rumoured that the console may be backward compatible.
Though in the past Nintendo has made statements indicating that they would want to beat Sony and Microsoft to market in the next generation of consoles, more recently Nintendo has stated that they will ship their next console about the same time.
The future Microsoft and Nintendo consoles may use similar technologies or be one and the same, according to recent (Feb 2004) speculation.
