Things we supposedly know about this new console: It will have HD-quality graphics, debut at this year's E3 and hit stores at some point next year.

Things we don't know about this new console: Everything else.

I'm not going to start tossing out wild guesses on what stupid new gimmick Nintendo is going to build into this system to entice the elderly to throw things at their HDTVs, but I do want to offer up a short prayer to the god I don't believe in that someone murders whichever jackass keeps greenlighting the "Friend Code" idea.

I understand the rationale behind the concept, but does Nintendo have any idea how difficult they've made it for teen boys to call each other "fags" over the Internet?
