If this were a DSi -like upgrade, how could it use a Blu-ray drive to prevent piracy? All games would have to be made on DVDs to be able to play on both types of Wiis.
If it's not an upgrade, that means this would be the first time Nintendo released a full next-gen console only four years after its predecessor. Hell, they've never even done it in five, let alone four. Why would they do that on the heals of their fastest (and soon to be best) selling console ever?
This rumor is retarded.
And if for some insane reason it turns out true, I would be so pissed. I'm annoyed enough by their antics on the handheld front (DSi exclusives/exclusive features... the hell?). For far more expensive devices it's too much. And I don't see how they could possibly let you keep your VC/WW games. It'd probably be as bad as the PSP Go in that regard, but at least there's little reason to upgrade to a PSP Go. A Wii HD would be entirely different, especially if they started making Wii HD exclusives much like DSi exlusives.
