So Patcher thinks it would be wise to Nintendo to abandon the Wii just as it is making more money than ever due to software sales from first party and licensees. I am sure I am not thrilled to ever hiring Wedbush to help me with my own business. Considering Nintendo cannot release two consoles in the same year to avoid sales cannibalization, I think they did much better releasing the DS successor this year as it anticipates any new product, take some of the steam behind the iPod touch and Sony's 3D plan with the PS3.
I don't think Nintendo will ever release a new Wii with HD capability -- although a version with hdmi support and 1080p upscaling is possible. More likely, they will release a new console in 2011 or 2012, depending of the Wii's sales curve.
