Speaking to CNBC, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aimé said that the new console will add further capabilities to the Nintendo experience.
"In terms of what the future holds, we've gone on record to say that the next step for Nintendo in home console will not be to simply make it HD, but to add more and more capability," he stated.
However, Fils-Aimé also said that consumers won't see a new console until Nintendo has "tapped out" all the possibilities for the Wii.
"We'll do that when we totally tapped out all of the experiences for the existing Wii and we are nowhere near doing that yet, so lots of ongoing opportunity for the consumer in the current generation," he added.
The Wii, which was released in 2006, has shipped more than 50 million units worldwide.
