Maybe for their handhelds....but I don't think there has ever been a hardware revision for one of their consoles. Certainly they have added peripherals, but their systems remain intact. Also...Nintendo will release an HD Wii — called the Wii2 in 2011. |
Thanks. VGChartz is a standard industry reference, so I have been here a few times before. In my blog article there is a link back to here. Wii2 in 2011 makes sense from a 5 year console cycle point of view. However the Wii is not really from this generation. It is from the last generation. It is just a souped up Gamecube with a gesture interface. And so falls a very long way behind the 360 and PS3 in capabilities. This will find it out well before 2011, especially the lack of HD graphics. So I think that Nintendo will introduce "Wii2" far sooner and continue with Wii1 as an entry level machine and for third world markets. This will give them a two model range, just as Sony have with the PS2 and PS3.
