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? |
The size reduction comes at a cost of losing features, I doubt people will like that. Anyways, why didn't nintendo do a redesign with their last 2 consoles? If they were selling bad, wouldn't it have made sales go up? Nintendo is not going to reduce the size of the Wii before next gen console arrives, and even then I doubt it. If you want wee can make a bet about it. Following past moves from the manufacturer gives you a lot of clues, and they've never redesigned their home consoles before next gen console arrived. And they did it to give the console a last push and was aimed only at collectionists or people looking for a cheap and small console. Wii is already cheap and small, you can't reduce its size like SNES or NES did before. Because Wii is even smaller than the redesigns of those.
