Its not impossible but yeah I agree that nothing close to that will likely happen. I expect Wii 2 to be a whole new ball game. I don`t think there is any good reason to release an HD Wii, even one with a slightly refined controller. It will be an old ball game. It will be a return to the bad old days, like 3DS. It will be closer to Gamecube 2 than Wii 2. And btw, HD has almost nothing to do with what I outlined.
Theres no hurry anyway. Wii is still the console of the masses, console sales and third party support may be declining but first party software sales remain very strong. Nintendo profits have nosedived lately. I think it's largely due to the strong yen. But 1st party software hasn't been great either. The last 3 holiday seasons have had only 1 hit first party title. Ubisoft and Just Dance is bailing Nintendo out big time, and it's only a matter of time before Ubi wrecks that series.
Overall I say think bigger! I think there is very little that could possibly be bigger than what I outlined. |
