  Hell look at the DS; it's selling for no reason and they're replacing it with a 3DS for what purpose?  Nintendo's due for a hardware upgrade and it's a lot closer than people think.

"Japan" is the obvious answer: that region matters much more to Nintendo than the rest of the world, and for what are probably some pretty good reasons.

Yes this is true; but I mean Nintendo just has a roughly 5 year hardware lifecycle.  It's been like this since the snes; only Sony really goes for a long haul and that's only been the luck of the draw.  I'm just saying Nintendo's in for a hardware upgrade and it's a lot harder to do what Nintendo does with its handhelds (Gameboy Color, Gameboy SP, Dual Screen Lite, Dual Screen I) with consoles especially with how small Nintendo makes their hardware; they just get hardware refreshes every so often and they're in for a hardware refresh soon.  Like Patcher just says whats on his mind and he feels Nintendo should make a "Wii HD" cause he'll probably buy one and he feels a lot of people will.  I just feel Nintendo's in for a hardware refresh cause it's just that time of the Wii's lifecycle.  And that makes sense as to why the Wii was so under powered as it was, by the time the HD consoles got a good gap graphic wise from last gen their next hardware refresh would begin.  I just think that hardware refresh is coming within the next few years cause it will fall in line with their last 3 hardware refreshes.
