6) Nintendo will show at the E3 a "new" version of the Nintendo Wii: it will support 720p resolution, DVD playback and will have also a HDMI port. The price will remain the same of today;

 

I call BS, they STILL haven't hit a point where the Wii isn't selling out, they won't even consider updating the system until they do.

It's plausible. It's a fairly minor update, and could just replace the existing sku. Wouldn't be worth it for most people to upgrade but considering the # of people with HD-TVs this makes sense to do.

 "Fairly minor"??  HAHAHA.  Do you realize what jumping to 720p and HDMI means?  It would require graphical upgrades of the system and software itself...you can't just up the res. and still have it look good, it would look worse.

And again, the Wii is still sold out in its current form.  I can see new colors being announced at E3, not a hardware revision as drastic as that though.
