I think the Wii will go the same way as the ipod in their goal to make the Wii a household brand name - we will see various Wii models over the next few years all playing same library of games but with different functionality ie Wii High Def, Wii HDD (probably Wii Retro as it can store VC / Wiiware games) and the Wii will probably be the Wii Classic.
Wii will be as big as Ipod in a few years time and marketable in it's own right - this is merely the base model, this is why they wont sort out the storage problems I believe.
