RUMOR: The Wii's successor is going to be compatible with GameCube games.

FACTS (via ComputerandVideogames.com):

"[The Wii's successor] will include a custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores, a GPU from the ATI R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1, and at least 512Mb of RAM.

"This would of course make HD console ports very easy for developers, but 'Project Café' will also include backwards compatibility with both the Wii (including all peripherals) and GameCube games, it's said."
