I was more hoping for a new console earlier, fully compatible, but noticably cheaper. Say $150. The Wii2 will not overhaul the current design. it will just enhance what's already in there. Which means the main board will get some tweaking, probably a multi core chip this time, more memory to support higher res and whatever new input. Since it's not a start from the ground up design and most of the manfuacturers will be already in place for production I could see it being much cheaper by 2011. Then again I wager it's going to be between 360 to 540 power level.
I also don't think there will be a HDD, but instead a 2-4 gig flash. They can so put one of these http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=25056&vpn=PSF4GSDHC6&manufacture=Patriot in. Since they buy in bulk it would only up the price by $10, maybe. I also wager that there are cheaper ones out there. For offline storage this would be fine. Keep in mind I'm betting the storage is not for game installs.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
