"New details on Nintendo's next-gen system emerge.

According to reports from press agency ZAKZAK, Nintendo plans to manufacture its next-generation console in China. Not a surprising move, since Nintendo picked China as the manufacturing location for its current-generation system, the GameCube. The reason, according to Nintendo, is to lower the cost of building the system, which of course lets the company bring systems to market at a much lower cost.

Perhaps more than any other console manufacture, Nintendo has tried to expand its presence in China. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata believes expanding in the East, including not only China but India as well, is an important step in the upcoming console race. Usually, a company will never officially release systems in China, leaving gamers to import them from Japan.

Currently, not much is known about the successor to the GameCube, code-named the Nintendo Revolution. All anyone knows for sure is that Nintendo will make available a vast library of classic Nintendo games for download on the system and that its controller and interface will be highly unconventional. Also of note, is Nintendo's recent confirmation that the Revolution will not support HD."
