wii - Leaked Wii 2 info reveals Blu-ray?

MaxConsole reports it has obtained leaked specifications of the Wii 2, revealing basic details about the console and a Q3 2010 release date.

The info is reported to have originated from French website Logic-Sunrise.com, which according to MaxConsole has regularly supplied insider knowledge. The leak is said to have come from an internal source of the marketing Nintendo France Service.

We're dubious as to the accuracy of this info, so take the following as nothing more than a rumour, but the Wii 2 is reported to:

- Feature a Blu-Ray drive with a secondary aim of stopping piracy
- Support 1080p for Blu-ray movies and games
- Be scheduled for release in Q3 2010, a worldwide simultaneous launch

The launch will also be supported by a trade in scheme, offering existing Wii owners to offset some of the Wii 2's cost by trading in their Wii.

Furthermore, Nintendo is not expected to officially announced the console until one month before its launch.
