(Crazy Rumor) Wii 2 Specs

[Netyaroze]

Wii 2 with those Specs and Nintendo would have me back again. Zelda in HD wow or Mario I wonder how the game Design would change.

It would perfectly fit next to my PS3.

And because of the Bluray Drive Nintendo wanted ALWAYS just one thing. They wanted to block piracy. And even with all those Proprietary formats it has not worked especially on the WII.

And thats why they are going the Bluray way. Maybe not exactly the same thing but based on Bluray. They use DVD too and DVD is as much a Sony Format as Bluray is. Nintendo dont cares about that.

And why they are NOT going the HD DVD way. It would be a logical step it seems because the Format is dead and the Piracy would be zero. Nintendo want a pirate free platform like the PS3 and HD DVD would work perfectly for it. But the problem is the Costs. Yes the Costs. HD DVD is dead noone is producing those Drives soon (or maybe even now). They will do a lot of research on Bluray drives and they will be manufactured cheaper and cheaper. And because the Volume is bigger for Bluray drives compared to HD DVD Drives it will reduce costs too.

But the other thing is. I dont know too much about it but I could imagine that they have to look for a Company which manufactures HD DVD Drives just for them and that would increase costs too.

They can use smaller Blurays like the GC had smaller DVD like Discs.

I am sure it wont come out until the last quarter of 2011. But in this point of time they can have Hardware 2-3 times more powerful then the PS3 and still be cheap and small. It wouldnt alienate the old costumers. The WII could still be there and the WII 2 would be an attack to the PS3/360 audience. Fully Compatible to old WII Games.

December 2011 would the Wii be 5 years on the market it would be a good time to release a new Console.

Just a quick look at the Wii sales:

Jan6th - Oct 4th (Q1-3) 2008: 13,614,978
Jan4th - Oct 3rd (Q1-3) 2009: 9,937,184

3.7 Mio down thats a lot. And the successors come even if the old console sell good. And Nintendo is never going to wait until WII is under 100k a Week. They
need growth. The Wii is declining and 2008 was the peak year. December 2011 fits perfect.
2010 is maybe to early but it could be that Nintendo wants to counter the Competition which will offer Motion Control the main selling point of WII (except the Nintendogames)

Until now it was like this:

WII Motion Control
PS3: HD
Xbox360: HD

2010 it will be like this:

Wii Motion Control
PS3 Motion Control+HD
Xbox360 Motion Control+HD

Nintendo introduced the Motion Controls to be competitiv but maybe they are afraid that the WII couldnt be as attractiv as it was because the Xbox360 and PS3 would be cheap 199-249 seems possible. And offer better Graphics and Motion Controls.

So Nintendo make the WII 2 and this could kill the Competition. Until NOW they are market leader but have still the slightly smaller market compared to HD Consoles. Maybe Nintendo wants it all.

It would be good to see a dominant market leader which gets all the games.
Together with full WII/GC Library plus WII Ware plus Graphics Power, Motion Controls. Nintendo would have everything. Some Improvements here and there they are unbeatable atleast with the PS3 or 360. A WII 2 would be a good step. And even if PS3 and 360 successors came the Graphic difference would never be so huge like it is today. Graphics is maybe something half of the market dont need. But the other (bigger) half wants graphics.

And I am sure that the people which have now a WII want HD. Maybe not now but if they dont want it all. They could keep their WII forever and Nintendo WII would be the last Console for Nintendo because it would be senseless to make another one with improved graphics.
