Nintendo’s next home console will launch in 2012, according to a note released to investors today alongside its 2011 financial statement.
A playable model will make an appearance at E3. Further details and game announcements can be expected then.

What’s more interesting are the rumours of the controller, which is said to boast a 6.2 inch touch-screen that can stream content from the console itself.
Other than the codename and 2012 release date, no other details have been made available.
Rumours about the hardware’s existence have been circulating for months now, including a story last week of the Wii successor being primed for an E3 reveal.
It’s a bank holiday so we’re not quite sure what to make of all this excitement just yet. If you’ve got any thoughts on what you’d like (or expect) to see in the machine then nip into our forum thread and see what everyone else thinks.
