Is the argument of a Wii Hard Drive still warrant discussion?

The games wont utilize the hard drive - it will just have larger storage capacity for VC, Wiiware games and DLC when it finally comes, the Wii HDD will just upscale it to a higher res - I may be wrong but doesn't the ps3 do something like this with ps2 games?

 The PS3 does upscale PS2 games, but have you seen them?  There's not that much difference.

I guess I just don't understand what you mean by an HD Wii.  You mean the system would output in 720/1080p?  What would be the point in that?  It would hardly look better, because for a system to look much better in HD, it needs a better graphics card and processor to create HD textures, more polygons, etc.

Are you suggesting that Nintendo should make such a system?  Because then there's NO way an old Wii could play the new games.  And if you're suggesting that the system merely outputs in 720p/1080p for a marginally better picture, then it wouldn't make much sense for Nintendo to make this system, since upscaling only makes it look a little bit better.
