1st April? No checked my calendar its still July. Workable Holographic storage solutions currently start at 10000$ and no even the Wii2 will not use it.

 

According to Nikkom 'Could get the HVCard.. $1 a piece at 30gb... but then the readers cost $1,800.. reader/writers are even more expensive'

This is why Nintendo are investing money into the format, to get that $1,800 cost down to a reasonable level and as I previously mentioned, the next generation will not start until at least 2012 which is 4 and a 1/2 years away at a minimum..

Nintendo aren't the type to cut a platforms life short unless they have to and I'm sure with Wii selling the way it is, it'll be no different.. I'm sure Nintendo in collaboration with InPhase could get the $1,800 cost down to a much more Nintendo-Friendly price in that time frame.

 

First, I want to say I don't think it is happening but I wanted to add in something to support puffy's theory.

It hasn't seen any attempts at true mass production yet.  When they are being built 1 by 1 in a lab they are going to cost a lot more than production...

Besides holographic storage will go really great with that holographic projector.
