There were talks about using the same config as the Gamecube in a future portable device. I wouldn't be surprised if they went that way or continued on with their use of ARM cpu's.
I figure that shrinking the die size down to 45nm would be in Nintendo's best interest. It allows them to shrink the Wii down by 35% (matching Iwata's 3 DVD case speech he gave in 05). They can save aprox 1/2-1/3 the cost of each cpu or gpu they purchase at the reduced size. They can also drop the 50 watt power supply down to around 25-30 watts. They could stop using fans inside the cases and cut down the size of the motherboard even further. It's a win win for Nintendo if they did shrink the component sizes down. Obviously the sooner the better, the higher price the price of the Wii for consumers the more Nintendo makes off them. So why not increase profits even further?
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
