He only said that so Pachter would be wrong. Reggie didn't want to ruin his streak.

Yeah, it is the same emphatic "no" that we got for such things as DSi XL and Wii Price Drop, but i believe this one.

What Reggie might say has no importance: all the decisions are taken in Japan, and he'll know after the decisions are made, never before... and as Nintendo is very secretive, even when he finally knows something new about the planning of new software or new hardware, he's not allowed to say anything, otherwise, he'll be fired... simple as that...

Now, if you really want to know what's happening with the future of Nintendo, you may read all these (very, very) interesting statements, made by the big guys in Japan: they are the ones to trust and to listen to...

Iwata: Piracy is worse in Europe than North America:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103054

Iwata discusses Wii/DS online connection rates in Japan, doesn't expect retail to be replaced by digital distribution for another 20 years:

Iwata discusses the process of convincing DS owners to go online:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103056

Nintendo following the 'natural flow' of HD formatting, next console may feature SD/HD combo:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103060

Miyamoto gives his thoughts on HD, discusses lagging software sales in Japan:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103061

Iwata says the Nintendo 64 was a pain in the ass to work with, but Nintendo has learned their lesson:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103062

Iwata talks software success, third party importance:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103063

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103065

Iwata discusses the importance of long-tail sellers, says they can't create sure-fire hits 100% of the time:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103066

Nintendo makes a business of turning unexpected ideas into big hits, says Iwata:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103067

Iwata can't understand why people think Nintendo has lost its edge, doesn't believe Nintendo is competing with Apple:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103068

Iwata - advertisers and content creators are divided on Wii no Ma service, service launch came at the worst possible time:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103069

Nintendo listens to customer feedback, takes it seriously, but doesn't act on all requests:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103070

Iwata's exact statements on a Kindle-like 3G service for future products:
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103071

Iwata - Nintendo must provide more fun than cell phone games do, must always innovate and never stand still:

The article on HD/SD combo is way off, They weren't saying that it would be HD/SD combo, they were saying that not all games require HD, some like Wii Fit are fine in SD

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

On this note, i figure that if they have a good hardware-side scaling chip, like the ANA chip that 360 uses, then it shouldn't be as much of an issue anyway.

Also Wii HD was always a stupid Idea, in fact a new Nintendo console will be a stupid idea at least until 2012, only way it'll be out in 2011 is if NATAL or the Sony wand become a huge success, otherwise there would be no point to a 2011 release, as Wii would still likely be selling the best and making money
