- Not GC backward compatible anymore.

Not gonna happen. Wii has the same hardware as GC (just "overclocked", you may say) so there's no point in removing GC compatibility, it won't reduce unit cost one bit. That's unlike the PS3's backward compatibility with PS2, which required additional hardware parts to work, and thus removed to reduce costs.

I don't think that they are going to remove this feature to reduce the costs but to reduce the size of the device because they can't significantly do that if they have to keep the GC controllers ports. Also after a while BC is not a selling point anymore.
