Do you have a link handy for the IBM + ATI development? If not thats fine, im just interested.

I prefer the "Phaser" theory about Nintendo market strategy over the "Disrupter" theory. To be quite frank I distrust the proponents of "Disrupter" theory and question their motives. But I can see how they would benifit from releasing an updated Wii.

They could these with an updated Wii+:

  • Incorperate Wii motion + into the console
  • Include HDMI output and build in a scaler chip to give better images on HD TVs
  • Increase the ram/flash storage to allow for faster loading and a wider range of services to be offered on the system.

I call it my *3 I* theory or *iii* for short..

 

 

 

Interesting theory, the only problem I see is that it only upgrade existing feature(graphic, motion, memory) and add nothing new. I am not saying that if Nintendo follow that model it won't do some of these thing but it won't only do that, it doesn't follow if you take the DSi as an example.

I think that if they go that way they would at least incorporate Wii Speak into the console and maybe something else.

Its an obvious incremental upgrade, it will ensure that Wii motion+ becomes adopted by developers and there are some useful and nice things they can do like pre-install Wii Sports onto the system so its available all the time rather than packaging it in a DVD case with the console. What else do they really need to add/change in the system?

 



Tease.
