Miyamoto - wait until you see the Wii 5 years from now

I agree completely. People are way too short-sighted when it comes to the potential of the Wii. Like the DS - its not just about games.

Just the channel interface, plus the Wiimote "pointer" functionality (forget waggle!) is enough to revolutionize things.

Think interactive TV - Ninty have built "mouse control" into a TV remote.

...

The other thing Ninty have managed to do (very sneaky) - is better separate the Wiimote & Wii.

They could release a completely upgraded Wiimote - is this a console upgrade?

What about keeping the existing Wiimotes - and releasing a new Wii unit? Is that an upgrade?

It would also be TRIVIAL for Ninty to release an "updated" version of the Wii, that has more internal memory (say 4Gig, instead of 512MB).

 Why bother releasing a Wii with more internal memory when you have limitless possibilities using the SD card slot?  I think it's in Nintendo's best interest to leave the internal memory at 512MB as SD cards will make huge jumps in sizes over the next few years. (Die shrinks have been speeding up, thus upping production capabilities, older fabs get converted to flash memory, new technologies to replace flash using the same form factors etc.)
