This doesn't make any sense at all. I can see no valid reason for the dominate market leader to make such a move. I don't doubt the next gen Wii will be HD and something comparible to Blu-ray (but it won't be blu-ray nor a movie format) but the whole trade-in thing is ridiculous. Especially considering the issue of transferring VC/WW games and game saves over to the new Wii.
