"Nintendo can't make the Wii smaller, more energy efficient or reliable without taking away parts from it."

I disagree with that and wonder on what facts you are basing this assumption. But yes they can remove "parts of it" like the BC, it's not like it is a selling point anymore. By removing BC they can remove the GC controllers ports and safe slots which alone would reduce signicantly the size of the hardware. And if Sony can produce a PS3 portable I don't see why Nintendo couldn't make the hardware of the Wii more compact. The DVD driver is the only thing that can't be reduced obviously. Still there is a lot of room to make a slimmer and smaller version of the wii. 


Wii is already very small and, yes you will need to take features away like the BC in order to make it noticeably smaller. I see that's the only point you addresssed, what about the rest of my post?

Well then it's possible to reduce significantly the size of the Wii by just removing the BC and using more compact components. I don't see what is the problem then. That's possible and I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't do it.

As for the rest of your post, sure Nintendo hasn't redesigned its two previous consoles. Yes and? That doesn't mean that they won't do such moves with the Wii or the next ones, does it?
