Well, it is. An HD wii would have been a big upgrade for the system this year and it would have sold a lot.

 

The next Nintendo system will be HD, that isn't a question. I wouldn't be shocked if Nintendo releases a console late 2011 or early 2012 only to leave MS & Sony in the dust with their last generation motion controls and sub HD graphics (1080p this generation is a joke). They'll either be forced to cling to "old" technology and hope to extend the generation or launch a new generation of consoles and try to play catchup again.

I seriously doubt that since Nintendo likes to make money from their consoles from the very beginning. PC cards that runs 1080p well are still very pricey and often have powerful CPU to back them. True, this hardware will be much cheaper in a year or two just not cheap enough for Nintendo.


The next Nintendo platform will do 1080p, I'm as sure of that as I possibly can.  Nintendo could probably make a console roughly 2-3x as powerful as the PS3, including 1080p, launch it early 2012 at £230 ($367.89) and make a decent profit.

One has to remember that the GC was more powerful by a decent degree than the PS2 and launched at £150 ($239.91)making a minor profit.
