    QUite a few sites are showing off these pictures 
     
    What we saw with the bird appered to be a Tech demo. However I wonder if Nintendo can snatch away 360 and PS3 users  
     
    The reason we got so confused is that our focus was not on the device but its CONTROLLER. This is whats in all the videos. It really does look a lot like a Wii. 
     The console its self was shown off the entire time. Most people *including me* did not notice the console part of it. 
    *If this topic has been made and pictures shown delete this please*

    I read it's about the same size as an Xbox 360.

    I was to focused on the Controller to notice the console. I thought it was  Wii.

    Judging from the pictures and the size of the disc slot, it seems the same size as the Wii, maybe a bit thicker. but nothing close to PS3 or Xbox360.

    It looks very plain to be honest which seems kinda odd for Nintendo. Granted, it's the controller that caught everyone's attention but the console itself looks a bit like a portable DVD drive or something. Colour me intrigued.

    Judging by the console sitting under the TV in the gameplay pics, it seems to be Wii-esque in size.
