The Wii doesn't have HD graphics because Nintendo wanted to keep the entry price to owning their new console low, from launch.

Yes, they wanted to keep the price down but they also wanted to make a very small console that uses very little power. Regardless of price you couldn't make an HD console with the footprint and power consumption of the Wii even today.
