This is fake.
Nintendo has for a long time used mature, tried and true technology, in there products. Even the Wiimote has mature tech, just used in an unprecedented way. I dont think anything here is true, or the facts are skewed.
1) Blu-ray. Sure Nintendo may detect a need for larger storage capacity when they move to HD, but honestly I see them using large DVDs. This has a benefit to all involved. Blu-rays are expensive to stamp and the drives are expensive which would drive up the cost to consumers for both HW and SW.
2)A trade in process is possible bu doubtful. If anything I see Nintendo offering a recycling option in which turning in a Wii will reduce the cost to consumer for the Wii 2. They will tout this as a "green movement" and generate alot of positve buzz. I have no idea what nintendo could possible do with 100m Wii consoles...perhaps use refurbished Wiis to enter poorer markets around the world.
3)Wii 2? HAHAHA...nope it's Wii Too
4)1080p is unlikely. 720p is pretty enough for most consumers and requires less HW power. Nintendo could argue the cost savings for the console and also the energy cost savings
5)Worldwide launch with 1 month notice. Not gonna happen... it requires too much work and expense, plus people will learn about Wii too when nintendo announces incredibly increased manufacturing costs early in the year in their Annual Report.
