This guy... has some good drugs. The point of the Wii is simplicity and being for the masses. The masses don't have HDTV's in fact most of them won't for a long time, they're not gonna hear the switch to digital and go out and buy a new TV, they'll buy the converter. Not that I agree with it, it's just the way it is. The average consumer is retarded, ever see somebody in best buy convinced that they're buying better HDMI's when most HDMI's are the same... long as it makes a connection it's fine.
HDD would just raise the cost but if they got a good deal on one, they could probably get away with one at current price as they make a good profit per system currently. However I don't see this happening. I'd like to see a base made for the Wii with a plug for the USB drive, nice and neat in the back measured out to fit perfectly so the Wii rests in it like the stock base and there's no extra wire slacking behind it,(of course some people will complain they don't want their wii's verticle.) and a USB extension that in turn holds some amount of flash memory that can be used to store and play from. Something like this you wouldn't HAVE to buy but people who wanted could..
