^I don't think that HD is a meaningful upgrade step, I think that HD and convenience in development is, and that's attainable at higher specs.
How much good exactly would HD have brought per se to the Wii? More money spent on each hardware piece, higher development costs. So again, the only _useful_ upgrade would have been bringing it in the same ballpark of 360 and PS3 when it comes to what developers require for CPU and GPU. It could have been cheaper than the PS3 (DVD instead of Bluray, Flash instead of HDD), but basically of the same order of cost of the launch 360.
