The boss of THQ let this little tidbit slip during an investor's conference.

We don’t expect new hardware any time soon from either Microsoft or Sony. It’s difficult on Nintendo – we’ll let them announce their new hardware.


"We'll let them announce their new hardware." That line specifically is making me wonder whether there's the slightest chance THQ might be in the know about the Wii's successor. The 3DS has been in development for a long time, and some third-parties had been let in on it and had faithfully held the secret for over two years, working on games for it in secret, sometimes even internally within the company.

Who's to say Nintendo hasn't done the same with the Wii 2? If they're planning to release it in 2012 (as most of the theories agree), or *gasp* even this year, they'd best have some solid backing behind the thing, or it's gonna tank at launch.

I know all of this might sound sort of crazy, but it's just some food for thought.

It's either they know about the Wii 2 or like many people, they think Nintendo has the best reasons to launch first.
You know what guys?
It's amazing how the the human mind does not process the the fact I used the word "the" twice in a row in this sentence.

I wouldn't be surprised should THQ and potentially a few other third party developers have some knowledge on the Wii's successor that's far more concrete than anything in the rumor mill. A few developers have given me the impression they may know something regarding Nintendo's next console, which if it is going to be announced this year and released next year like the current rumors are buzzing about it would make sense that third party developers are already working on games.
