Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime squashes Wii HD rumors... again {Engadget HD}
Nov 8th 2009 12:05PM The problem is that we're talking about a Wii that only has games in 480p getting an HD upgrade for, basically, no reason. We're not talking about the successor to the Wii, we're talking about the current system. It's completely senseless to release another version of the same system that will get virtually no benefit from the change in hardware when we're not that far off from the next generation of systems (2011-2014).
Also, up until just this year, it was too hard for them to even keep the current hardware in stock, and they're still concerned about releasing a black Wii in the US because it would create shortages of one system and overstock of the other. It's just not going to happen.

Nov 8th 2009 12:01PM Actually, you're wrong about the power when compared to an Xbox. It's probably about 1.75 times the power of an Xbox, if you know anything about the architecture of both systems you would know this.
No HD is definitely a downer...but that was the tradeoff to keep the cost of all the hardware at the $250 pricepoint. Nintendo has reclaimed the #1 spot after over 10 years so they obviously have it right....meanwhile, Sony and Microsoft are still trying to get their act together to compete with the Wii.
Christmas 2010? That's 1 year away...not going to happen. 2011, possibly. The Wii is only now about to get its first price drop...and will most likely sell well into 2014. Sales are slipping for the entire industry, not just the Wii....take a look.

Nov 6th 2009 5:08PM Ok, come on, nothing here says there is no successor in the works. All the "stupid" and "idiotic" accusations are unwarranted, Nintendo has proven time and again that they are a forward looking company...

I agree with you - I'm just pointing out that engadget are the ones who are referring to a Wii 1.1 instead of a successor.

Nov 6th 2009 2:30PM It was enadget that added it - the 360 took over a year to get HDMI and games are still limited to 720p to this day.

Nov 6th 2009 2:29PM They are not talking about a successor - what they're referring to is an HD version of the Wii.

Aug 19th 2009 11:32AM Yeah, because a gaming peripheral with a game logo on it is totally unheard of and worse than a gaming soda...
