^Sure next time around, but that would be years off, right now, they have no real reason to move to a new console, graphics aren't a reason, as we can see from sales, no it has to be something more, something like the reason they moved from GCN to Wii

Yea I agree, if graphics is the sole reason for a new console, they would have come out with a new Wii sku already.

They're going to because of investor pressure. Next year.

From the talks some people are having right now I don't think it would even be native 720p but just upscaling to 720p. The price for sure would be much higher too.

If NSMBW fails to deliver on what they want, you're gonna see something. It's gonna be a little greedy, though.

Investor pressure, no sorry, investors are too smart for that, lol, investors are looking at the bottom line, not at fanboyish stuff, Nintendo is making huge profits as they are right now, a Wii HD would cut into those profits and into sales, investors know this, they aren't going to call for Nintendo to move to HD as long as they keep on selling the most.

 

Also their biggest shareholders are people like Yamanuchi and I believe even the government of Japan has a stake in the company, they aren't going to push the company towards a Wii HD.
