Technically, I think the only thing the wii actually needs for HD resolutions is more Vram. If I recall correctly, the GC GPU was capable of 1080i, but no games ever used it. I think they had a build of Rogue Squadron that they ran at 1080i. Given this, Wii should be able to pull it off with only a minor hardware revision.
And I could almost kill for GC compatability in Wii mode. I think the only reason this isn't done is to keep homebrewers and hackers from getting at the Wii through GC action replay and the like.
Witty signature here...
Wii: 14 million by January I sold myself short
360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.
PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow Mnn Crow is yummy.
With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.
