Sorry if old but according to rumours Nintendo may be producing a secret HD Wii with up to 1080i resolution, a 160GB HDD and the capability to upscale DVDs to 1080i. I find this highly unlikely just because it seems odd. Plus alot of the current owners would be mad beyond explanation. What do you think?

Heres the url:http://n4g.com/wii/News-33095.aspx
If someone could link it it would be greatly appreciated.

Not happening. They would need to make the Wii more powerful in doing so, thus alienating early adopters, since new games will take advantage of the added power to the console. So the new games would not be able to be played on an old Wii.

i would be so mad at Nintendo if they did that

The Elite 360 is different, the Elite doesnt make the console look or perform any better

an HD Wii would look a lot better, but it would be such a rip off to early adopters (like me)

If they were making an HD Wii with a 160GB HDD then there is no way they would be using DVD9, they would wait to see which format wins the format war then use that.

Or it could be them saying they were wrong about it being too early for HD, which they weren't. NO chance of this "upgrade" EVER being released!!!!!

Won't happen this gen, since it would kill the Wii by creating a vastly different SKU and alienating 6 million+ Wii owners

Why would Nintendo release this, if the demand for the Wii is so high? They are doing well right now, and new SKUs will bring them back in the console war. Nintendo needs to focus on strategically releasing first party titles, rather than make a new revision of an already good console.

See it would make more sense as an April Fools joke... in April. But that's probably what it is.

no happening, you can't even start to imagine what owners of the ..non HD wii would do in reaction, probably all old Wii's sold, and noone ever buy one again

Bingo. Plus, they would be abandoning the whole philosophy behind the console in the first place. Not to mention, it's selling like madness. There isn't really a need for an upgrade, financially.
