This is just too damn cool to ever exist. This concept for the Wii II (assuming there will be one), offers a totally different take on console design, adding portability to the Wii. How is this done you might ask? Well for one, there is a built-in projector which doubles as the laser sensor for the Wiimote. All you would have to do is point it towards a surface and play.

The color of the console would be totally customizable and the Wii II would not only be able to play DVDs, but would also be compatible with Gamecube games. It would feature 15 hours of battery life and pack in 2 GB of on-board memory. Yeah, keep dreaming. We know we will. — Andrew Dobrow

These phones would use a similar technology. The patent focuses on other kinetic possibilities as well, but the mobile phone idea is the most intriguing. — Andrew Dobrow

Sony Germany has a teaser photo and count down which is almost enough of a verification for our purposes, but for now we can only leave it up to speculation. Though the Video Walkman would be a pretty cool idea for those who prefer the video end of portable media. (more…)
