It's so hard to know.
Any increase in power would have to be accompanied with an increase in cost, so how many HD Wiis would people have bought at $300? $350?
Would an HD Wii really have attracted more development if it had a lower adoption rate due to increased price? Would the increased dev costs of HD have driven away some of the lower-tier developers or led to more exclusives becoming ports?
The Wii was sold out for about 2.5 years with no price cuts. It's hard to imagine how the console could have been more successful.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
