They need to bring out a version with better graphics capabilities that will make the hd studios make games for Wii.  Wii came in third worldwide last week and unless they do something soon that's the way it will be or most of the rest of the gen from this point as Japan is deciding they definitely prefer PS3 to Wii.

Ha ha ha ha ha, even with HD the 3rd party won't make games for wii because for them:

- the audience for their game is not on wii.

- the main controller of the wii is not the same as  the HD consoles.

- they have to compete against Nintendo quality software.

- if the wii is hd, on which console they will do they cheap, quick cash in to finance the budgets of the HD games?

-and so on.

1.  If Nintendo had a console more suitable for playing third party games than the Wii, then they would get a lot of the third party games.  Look at the Gamecube.  It had ports of almost all last gen games.

2.  It will be when Kinnect and Move come out.  And the actual gamepad that does exist for Wii is supposed to be pretty good.

 

3.  Nintendo isn't the only company that makes quality software.  There's another 50% of the market that prefers the games make by other guys on the other consoles.

4.  I would expect the Wii.  It would still be around as the bargain console with Nintendo having that part of the market locked up.  Wii hd with superior graphical abilities would let Nintendo tap into the other half of the market that isn't interested in the Wii.
