Reggie admits Sony beat him to the punch with LittleBigPlanet
In an interview, Nintendo's public figure Reggie Fils-Aime has conceeded that Nintendo lost out to LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule as Sony's Phil Harrison was quicker out of the starting blocks.

"I think the best thing shown by Phil Harrison [at March's Game Developers Conference] was LittleBigPlanet," Nintendo of America president Fils-Aime told N'Gai Croal. "The group doing that game is fantastic, and I say that having seen the rag doll little product that they had created."
He continued, "Frankly, Nintendo wanted to do some business with those folks, but to give Phil some credit, he got there first. That product, I think, is quite intriguing. I'm not sure how well it will do on the Sony platform, quite frankly, but I think that the product they showed was outstanding."

Nintendo se une a la nueva moda de despreciar a los usuarios que compran las consolas cuando salen al mercado para sacar un modelo mejor al relativo poco tiempo de haber salido a la venta: (Rumor)
Rumor: Wii v2.0 with DVD playback is coming later this year
A Nintendo forum member has posted that a second edition of the Wii is going to be released in the US later this year complete with DVD playback functionality. The source of his claims is a Nintendo rep who supposedly stated on the phone that he had received a memo confirming the new products arrival.

We all know that Nintendo is making a new version of Wii to be released in the 2nd half of 07 that will play DVD's. No other information is known except that it is coming to Japan and was in talks for a US release. Well, I just got off the phone with a Nintendo rep, and he said that he had recieved a memo saying that it is indeed coming to the US. No other details are known. If you want proof, call Nintendo yourself. The number is 1-800-255-3700. So, it is coming to the US. It sucks that they're making a new version of Wii that has more features.
