In many ways this gets to the heart of the issue, i.e. why would Nintendo add more graphical power when more graphical power = higher development costs, and Wii has proven that a huge chunk of consumers don't care about "HD" graphics anyway?
Nintendo's next system will probably output HD resolution, and the graphical power may incidentally be similar to the current systems or even more powerful than them...but odds are you'll never see Nintendo putting out the kind of pricey game presentations that we're seeing with titles like GTA 4 or MGS 4.
