the Wii console has been released since Nov 19, 2006 ... so it's not surprising that a new Nintendo home console is scheduled for release.
in fact, you'll see the final bits of info about Wii U at E3 (ard June) 2012. Nintendo is currently saying it will be released between E3 2012 till end of 2012.
it has been stated (so far) that Wii U will be able to play Wii games (backward compatible) but i believe you'll understand that there will definitely be a cost difference between the new and current console.
anyway, there's a great deal of games oredi out for Wii and there may still be a few gems till Wii U's arrival (or even beyond) ... so if you can get a good price for a Wii machine ... y not.
good luck.
