Well i can "think" that can happen.  But i know it wont.  I doubt nintendo will release a new system in less than 5 years.

It might be possible for a wii release that would upconvert original will games to 720p, but they would look terrible. HD is out for now. Content (online and offline) are Nintendo's biggest obstacle right now. We need a Hard Drive or at least be able to play content off flash.

no. and also the bad graphics don't have to do with the HD! (although it will improve clarity and picture quality) its the hardware, i play a 360 on a s***** old TV in 480 and it still looks VERY impressive. The Wiis graphics will get a-lot better in time though, its just developers spending more time with controls atm. Its 3 times more powerfull than cube and we will see its potenial in the near future... pateince my son, pateince.

No. The Wii doesnt have the processing power to output that resolution at a respectable frame rate.

Yes, they will come out with an HD gaming console... will it be a Wii? No, it iwll be their next console.  Call it Wii v2.0.  I suspect that in the usual 4-5 year life span of the Wii, prices on HD components will drop drastically since the other two consoles and computers are mass producing the technology right now, and then nintendo will work out the bugs with their current Wii remote design, for the next system which will probably be 1 step behind the next MS and Sony consoles, but will look great still!

xparadox8

i hate it when nintendo does that....... i bought my ds at launch and now whenever i look at a lite makes me jealous...

and i think nintendo made a mistake on making wiis 480i/p. 720 is the standard nowadays from my understanding
