I think Nintendo would go to HD before 3D, they said since the Wii launched that they werent enough HD tv's in the wild and their are even less 3D tv's

Given that multiplats will probably be supporting 3D by then, and assuming the Wii HD will be similar in power (or even stronger) than the ps3/360, it would be silly not to include it from the getgo.

Even if they didn't include it at launch, they could easily enable it via a firmware update ala ps3.

The problem of doing it by firmware update is the capacity of the console generating 3D graphics: like PS3, they are downgraded when doing the double images. If 3D is to be implemented in their next console, it should be planned since from beginning to include it.

I think that firmware or no firmware, graphics will always be hurt to some extent when doing 3D.  Perhaps they could optimize the system in some way to make the difference less dramatic but still there will be some downgrade.

As to the people that think that Ninty is going all out, I can't agree.  Don't get me wrong, there will be a significant improvement and definitely a couple of surprises.  But judging by the 3DS, I don't see them going all out.  The 3DS seems to be clearly superior to the DS, but it does not look like a graphics leap from psp. I expect cool features and interesting new concepts.

I think the next Wii (or whatever they call it) will be HD and at LEAST on par with PS3 AND 360. 3D.... not sure, let's see how tv sales go.
