I see nintnedo trying quite a relauch to reach mainstream gamers.

I was very strongly under the impression that they already have those.

Well, if Ninty do release a Wii HD... I'd have thought is would be counted as a standalone console, not a Wii relaunch.

 Not necessarily: the Gameboy Color is often lumped in with its non-color predecessor, in spite of having several exclusive games.

Why would they release another console when they are stomping the PS3 and XBox

 One could just as easily ask why they released the DS when the Gameboy Advance was still selling very briskly. I don't think they're going to cut the Wii short, but it's not for this reason.

Also what does a resolution have to do with gaming I never understood, what's the difference between gaming on a resolution of 640x480 compared to 1280x720 or 1920x1080? It's still a game. THe worst thing about video games reviews are the "graphics" score. Sorry for getting off topic.

 It's a sentiment I tend to share. That said, I concede that on certain large televisions, Wii games can look...noticeably bad. It's not a consistent rule, though. :-/

..but with Natal releasing in 2010 and stealing some of Nintendo's motion control thunder

 It's way too early to call this. We don't even know what games Natal is going to have. And I've noticed that even amongst the internet evangelists there's been increasing backlash against Natal, possibly for just this reason.
