We can make Vii stronger, faster

When the Vii was cracked open and shown for what it was, the joke system became that much more hilarious. But the thing did well enough to warrant a successor, apparently. As we first put eyes on this new and improved version of the original, we were thankful that thing at least looks less like an actual Wii now. Although, the remote has taken on almost the same exact button scheme as that of the Wiimote.

Also became very phallic.

Looks like they were trying to go with a PS3 design on the console for this one.

I'm holding out for the 360 version of the Vii. =)

Bet they still sell more of these than PS3s!

You sure? It looks more like a VCR or maybe even one of those "couldn't make it" video game systems of the 90s...

It's a PSVii

@SoshiKitai,

Well, if you look at the PS3, on this new Vii, the black area would be the cover for the flash memory readers. The power/reset buttons sit basically in the same spot as the power and eject on the PS3, and the same area is pushed in on the PS3 for the disc drive.

That said, the rest of it does look pretty VCR-like since its not rounded like the PS3 is.

Now, the next question is, when will these guys start copying the handhelds? The VS or the VSP...lol
