| kn said: A) You would have to be crazy to think that Nintendo R&D isn't already working on ideas for their next generation. When you have the kind of corporate profits you have now, you spend a lot on R&D because you can cover the costs. I assure you they are working on ideas for their next generation of video game systems and controllers. |
Everyone knows that Nintendo is working on the system that will follow up on the Wii just most people don't expect it to be released until 2010 at the earliest (most likely in 2011 or 2012) ...
For the most part it takes 18 months to 2 years before a console is released to correctly market it to its customers and third party developers; that is if it is not a minor hardware revision like the Slimline PS2 or DS Lite. This would mean that Nintendo would have to start marketing a Wii HD sometime between Q4 2007 and Q3 2008 if they intended to release it in 2009. That simply wouldn't happen ...
A Wii HD could potentially exist but it won't be much more than a fancy way of upscaling the graphics
