So This Guy Predicts A HD Wii In 2010

How to these people base these predictions? Inside scoop or just a prediction?

Also would you want a HD Wii in 2010 or would you rather just have the next console HD?

hopefully 720 isnt the max nintendo will do i want 1080

also im hoping its just a upgrade like the n64 expansion pack dont feel like having to buy a new console so soon

If they offered HD Wii in different colors, then I might consider upgrading. But other than that, probably not. And also it would depend on the price.

I could care less about HD graphics. If they do that i doubt i would rebuy or upgrade my Wii i see no problem with its graphics.

HD shovelware? YAY

very true making the current wii into hd wont put it on par wit the 360 and ps3because the processor on the wii is to weaknintendo would need to change the processor and graphic chip to make it compete wit current gen graphics

Unless its a full on successor to the Wii, no. I don't think the deal with DS, DSlite, and DSi should happen for consoles. I wouldn't even bother with HD unless they are going to do it to the point that it would make the Wii capable of supporting quality multiplats from the other consoles. If they don't do that, what is the point in paying for it? Slightly better graphics for the same game library.

Pachter is always wrong about everything. If he says there will be a new Wii in 2010, expect Nintendo to stick with the regular Wii until 2080.

And that's all I need to know about that article. Moving on.

Oh, and as for your second question, I'm not really in a rush to buy a second Wii.

Why would they release an HD Wii in 2010? The Wii's life cycle hasn't been exhausted yet, especially with Wii-motion + coming out. Unless it could have graphical and online capabilities high enough so that they could port multi-plats easily, then it would be pointless.Chojuto

i wouldn't mind a Wii upgrade, i think we should all expect Nintendo to follow a bare bones tech approach to consoles at time of release

if theres a Wii HD,and in 2010, it'd have a dual (or single) core 1.7Ghz CPU, 256MB RAM, and 256MB VRAM, probably with 8GB-16GB flash memory with SDHC card slot, using DVDs, displaying in 720p and 1080p thru component and not HDMI, Wii motion plus built in, Blue Tooth, WiFi

that'd be basically a Wii Netbook

i honestly can't say i'd mind a 2010 Wii upgrade, or at least a 2010 Nintendo fall conference announcment of a Wii upgrade

I dunno if we will get one next year (seems a bit too quick), but regardless, a HD Wii (Or "Wii 2" of sorts) would be very welcomed as long as it wasn't costly. Maybe with a coule other features.

What these analysts do is they try to make a prediction on when hardware changes will occur based on past hardware histories. Since the wii has been out since 06, they figure a 4 year gap would be prime time for a sorta upgrade, or new console perhaps.

I'm curious as to how this would work... would we send in our Wiis to get upgraded for a fee, and new Wiis would be sold already upgraded?Would it be an entirely new console? Would it have a harddrive to give us better storage? Could we expect it to be a Cinderblock like the 360/ps3?

I think they just try to guess what will happen in the future and publish that as a analisys.

I was hoping forthem to release their next console inlate 2011...

i wouldnt buy another a nintendo home console due to the fact that nintendo lacks good 3rd party games so i think im goin to stick wit pc gaming and nintendo's handhelds unless they fix the problem of lack of good games

i also feel like nintendo are making games that zero skill in nessary such as ssbb and mario kart (no more wave dashing and snaking)

also for those that hate wave dashing and snaking they could of put a option to turn it on or off

I don't see nintendo releasing a new console so soon.

Bah, predictions... If the average prediction was correct, most people probably wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. If no one remembers, the Wii wasn't even supposed to be halfway to where it stands right now, according to the majority of predictions that were made in the past. Why anyone would make a big deal of this now is beyond me, especially when Nintendo has proved that its stance on HD gaming was more accurate than even the company had hoped for. Why throw that out the window now, especially when your system is still doing very well?

A laughable prediction at best, I say. :P

Oh, and about that second question, I don't care right now. I can't play the games in HD right now anyway, so it wouldn't bother me if the system went HD or not. Not that I see this coming, though...

USB is far too slow and non-dedicated. And no sane company would make you send a console back to upgrade it (and they certainly don't want you to open it up yourself).

I don't get it. For the people that already have a WII... Nintendo expects us to buy another WII just for HD? No. I'll pass. I rather just get the PS4 or something.

Well... mystery solved.Link400

bigger mystery is why create a new account just to dig up a random two year old thread??? Are you that bored?
