It's interesting that so many people are taking Nintendo's business decision when faced with a cheap or a HD compatible console question as a negative thing when they clearly realised that as the Wii is so different and given the Gamecubes weak stature - their best approach would be to offer it cheap to build a user base and when HD technology boom does take off and Wii is probably reduced then release a new Wii model with HD (and probably storage, maybe even tighter motion controls) for the same bargain price that does automatically upscale old Wii games. The Wii will probably then be the base model (probably named classic or something) and several different Wii's will be released - like Apple did with the Ipod and now Ipod is a brand on it's own. |
Precisely. |
NB: The graphics card in the Wii is capable of outputting 720p. I can't remember if it could actually hit as high as 1080i, but I don't believe so. Nintendo specifically has that function locked out for whatever reason. They have decided to remove themselves from the HD world, and are unlikely to have a buisness model built around throwing themselves in.
