I bet that within 4 years we will see a WiiHD. Why? Because by then HD tv sets will be a larger market share. It will be completely backward compatible and if you are using HD cables it will upconvert the signal just like many DVD players do now. The newer HD games would be compatible with both versions, and like the 360 now, it will remain on dvd's. They have no need to put a game on a blu-ray or HDDVD as a double layer DVD (about 9g) is more than large enough. Great market plan I think. Look at the DS, 2years out they put out a version that is 90% the same. Same price and I would say that majority of the original DS owners bought the DS Lite. Same with the Wii. 4 years into it they bring out WiiHD, same price $250 but with HD graphics and same shape and size. Again, most current Wii owners will rebuy.
