Wii HD, will it help?

I was thinking, since the Wii currently is the top selling console, and with a small collection of good games, lacking mature games. Will the HD version of the Wii help it's sales. I remember gaming being about game-play not graphics anyways.

Help what? The Wii is selling like crazy.

I do agree that gameplay is wayyyyy more important then graphics though.

Wii HD help:

- With sales, probably not

- With putting next gen games on the system that are exactly the same as the ones on the other consoles, without question

There is no Wii HD and there won't be a Wii HD.

Are you trying to say that the Wii is Nintendo's last system?

If so, you are wrong. Nintendo's next system better support the Wii Remote as well as a traditional controller. Even though the Wii Remote is the ultimate way to play FPS, other games don't use it all that well, like Brawl.

No. Of course there will be another Nintendo console, but there won't be a Wii HD in the middle of this generation. That would be the most idiotic thing Nintendo could ever do, because adding HD would require a new CPU, GPU and more RAM, which would effectively split the installed base into two entirely different hardwares; third parties would make games for Wii HD and not the regular Wii or viceversa.

Nintendo's NEXT console will obviously be HD, but a redesigned Wii with HD is out of the question. A redesigned Wii with more internal flash drive space and even Wii Motion Plus out of the box could happen at one point, but it will still have the same CPU, the same GPU, the same amount of RAM and the same architecture.

I never said that it would have to be a "redesigned Wii", I said that it should use the Wii Remote because it is ideal for some games, but should also have a controller that is similar to that of a tradional controller.

When their next system comes out, it better be at a similar resolution and power to that of the competitors next systems. (PS4 and Xbox-whatever-it-is-called)

Well, looks to me like HD cant hurt the sales. But Wii Fit was so ugly, i really couldn't see what i was doing because the lack of anti-aliasing was to consistent. It sucks, the video quality is mostly disappointing.

Even if there was a Wii HD I doubt the 50 million+ Wii owners would go out and buy this Wii HD so developers wouldn't support it with those HD only games. Sepewrath

I will be more than happy to throw out my Wii to make room for my HD Wii.

Yes Wii HD will help us get all of the good games that we are missing out on.
