As high-definition graphics become more and more entrenched in this generation of game consoles, Nintendo has had to deal with constant speculation about a new version of the Wii that would increase its capabilities. Today, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime bluntly denied that a hardware revision was imminent, saying, "We are confident the Wii home entertainment console has a very long life in front of it." He added, "In terms of what the future holds, we've gone on record to say that the next step for Nintendo in home consoles will not be to simply make it HD, but to add more and more capability, and we'll do that when we've totally tapped out all of the experiences for the existing Wii. And we're nowhere near doing that yet."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/15/0738222/Wii-Hardware-Upgrade-Wont-Happen-Soon?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/15/0738222"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/15/0738222/Wii-Hardware-Upgrade-Wont-Happen-Soon?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/YAKd5FasAfiK1z4DpOTryN5Vp_k/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/YAKd5FasAfiK1z4DpOTryN5Vp_k/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/YAKd5FasAfiK1z4DpOTryN5Vp_k/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/YAKd5FasAfiK1z4DpOTryN5Vp_k/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/OLO1m5JN1Yw" height="1" width="1"/

A new report by Game Developer Research reveals that the number of developers working on games for the iPhone continues to rise, roughly doubling in number from last year. At the same time, the amount of work done on games for Nintendo's Wii dropped significantly: "Just over 70 percent of developers said they were developing at least one game for PC or Mac (including browser and social games), rising slightly from last year; 41 percent reported working on console games. Within that latter group, Xbox 360 was the most popular system with 69 percent of console developers targeting it, followed by 61 percent for PlayStation 3. While those console figures stayed within a few percent of last year's results, the change in Wii adoption was much more significant: reported developer support for the system dropped from 42 percent to 30 percent of console developers, supporting numerous publishers' claims of a recent softening of the Wii market."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/02/06/1735237/Game-Devs-Migrating-Toward-iPhone-Away-From-Wii?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/02/06/1735237"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/02/06/1735237/Game-Devs-Migrating-Toward-iPhone-Away-From-Wii?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/clvPlGG52LqMrcSfDMtE1qQJssk/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/clvPlGG52LqMrcSfDMtE1qQJssk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/clvPlGG52LqMrcSfDMtE1qQJssk/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/clvPlGG52LqMrcSfDMtE1qQJssk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/27k5hOoBbq8" height="1" width="1"/

mr_sifter writes "PC gamers love to obsess over whether PC gaming is dying, but bit-tech thinks it's time to look at the other side and examine if console gaming is really as secure as publishers would have us believe. All three console manufacturers suffered from the recession mdash; this year, Sony announced its first net loss in 14 years; a stunning yen;989.9bn, which includes record losses of yen;58.5bn in its gaming sector. Microsoft also announced its first loss since it went public in 1986 in the second quarter of this financial year, with a $31 million US loss coming straight from the Entertainment and Devices division, which is responsible for the Xbox 360. Not even Nintendo has escaped the financial plague either, with sales of the Wii dropping by 67 percent in the US, 60 percent in Japan and 47 percent in the rest of the world. In addition to reduced profitability, casual games and the rise of the iPhone further suggest the current model is not invulnerable."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/12/14/2010234/Is-Console-Gaming-Dying?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/12/14/2010234"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/12/14/2010234/Is-Console-Gaming-Dying?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xsUROwzmKvf4UP9g73I9RIMcaMI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xsUROwzmKvf4UP9g73I9RIMcaMI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xsUROwzmKvf4UP9g73I9RIMcaMI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xsUROwzmKvf4UP9g73I9RIMcaMI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/w6NM5PL_f38" height="1" width="1"/
