I don't think it is a matter of Nintendo needing to release a HD console as much as the standard cycle of console releases ... While Nintendo has some power to choose when they release their next console, it is unlikely that their next system would come (much) after Q4 2012 or 2013; and it is obvious that Nintendo would take advantage of new, higher performance, low cost hardware (which will be able to support HD resolutions).
