Let's fabulate: The "what if" thread. What if Wii was HD?

[happydolphin]

Okay buddies, so here is the question. ... What IF?

What if Nintendo didn't release the CUBE 2? What if...

 

What if they released a Wii HD?

Here is the scenario. Nintendo sees HD as a possible eventuality! Something that can bring them success, more success. Yes, Wii was amazing. Wii was a revorution. No doubt. But what if it was a Nintendominorution???

What if it did HD? What if it could sport gen7 graphics? Like the cube competed against the xbots, what if the Wii was capable of supporting gen7 graphics, and offering that platform to 3rd parties, WHILE internally going after the casual audience.

Edit (Adding clarification): In this fabulation, the HD-Wii would still have motion controls, would still focus on casual gaming. It would still be able to sport SD visuals if needed.

The only difference would be that it would also offer a traditional controller (for certain companies really wanting it), something far better than the CCPro. I know the cube was supported by the Wii, I have a jap white Wii-model GC controller (smacking new). But envision something that was wireless like the Wiimote, but based off the Cube controller's design, in other words a bluetooth GC controller with minor improvements (like the shoulder buttons and c-stick going more mainstream design).

Imagine this console had a solid online infrastructure.

As for price, what if Nintendo went loss-leading and sold it at the same price as the Wii? Assume something less powerful than the 360, something in line with PS2 to Xbox weaker.

PLEASE INPUT! I want to know.
