The Wii could may very well have been a system to simply probe the market to see if that kind of configuration would be a success. I know that Miyamoto was prepared for bad sales of the wii in America which is obviously not the case, so they may have used limated hardware so as not to loose money if it failed. But considering the Wiis success they may indeed release a new version or hardware updates.
