Reggie was on GTTV, talking about the WiiU. Here's what he said:

"High-def graphics, got it. Online capabilities, got it.

We're showing the online in a few days.

It's single-touch (In response to a question from Geoff).

The Wii was not unsuccessful with the hardcore.

The system's gonna be 1080p. Tick that box, it's done.

We're not talking about price yet.

It's all going to be driven by the game.

[The HD Zelda video] was an experience. I don't like the term 'tech-demo'.

We're very good a keeping secrets.

[Hitting 45 million sales before announcing WiiU] was just a nice, figurative conversation. (The Wii has not yet sold 48m, yet WiiU has been announced).

They're going to buy it for the price point (strong hint a competitive pricing).

Will it have a competitive price? Absolutely!

It will have a fantastic value.

You'll be able to play those Wii games, but with a new experience.

By the end of the week, we'll show the WiiU online.

Geoff: You're gonna have some big launch first-party games? (Reggie doesn't answer)

[About the console]: We're not emphasising the console. It's a box. We're focusing on the controller.

It will not be Blu-ray


There you go. Excited for all this, like Bruce Willis?
