Wii HD is coming this year, says Pachter >_

[ameratsu]

Seeing the sort of leaks that surrounded the ps3 slim and psp go, I would expect at least something on that front if a Wii HD were really coming out this year. Keeping the full-fledged launch of a new console under wraps without leaks would be next to impossible.

So considering there has only been one "leak" apart from Patcher's insistence suggesting a new Wii this year ( http://www.maxconsole.net/?newsid=37744&mode=news ) I would still take the Wii HD / Wii 2 launching this year with a grain of salt. I wouldn't swear up and down that it's impossible though. We'll have to see what happens as the year progresses.
