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. |
perhaps a de luxe model with storage capacity, marginally better picture, dvd player, better interface and who knows what else - I'm not saying they should but all i'm saying is there's a lot of improvements could be done on the wii to produce a de luxe model aimed at hardcore audiences.
It could even have tighter wii motion controls that respond better.Who knows it could also have more power so devs could tie the de luxe in with ps3 / 360 on "hardcore" multiplat releases once a Wii user base is established so this console could have both library of games.
It makes sense to release a cheap, simple base model at first with it being such a big gamble and when you have a platform to build on then address these issues - not when it's only been out 16 months and demand still far outstrips supply.
