AARGH! What is with this Wii HD nonsense? It would be one of the worst moves Nintendo could ever make.

What do you think the Wii HD is?

If you think it is a completely new console, you are wrong. Nintendo is never the first to release new hardware, why would they bring out a new console now?

If you think it is exactly as powerful as the Wii, but displays in 1080p then it would not be powerful enough to play most games. It could probably manage Wii Sports, but it wouldn't play Galaxy, Brawl Kart etc

If you think it is merely upscaling to 1080p, then wtf, it would make very little difference, and would require a bit of an upgrade to the hardware

If it is more powerful, but runs the same games, then the graphics would look better, but then you would be required to provide code of the Wii version and the Wii HD version, effectively halving the storage space of a Wii disk, and increasing cost of development (ie 3rd parties wouldn't do it, and 1st parties would no longer be profitable)

Please explain yourself - why would Nintendo do something so stupid? And if you say that you are predicting it because Pachter has been, then I will cry.
