Nintendo - HD Wii? - View Post

Yes... but the question is whether or not it would be profitable for them. The Wii was sold for 250, compared to the XBox 360 going for 3-400. So they likely could have sold a system on par with the 360 for about 300 (they'd probably have to make some changes like decreasing the ram).

They'd probably be giving up on about 75-100 dollars a unit at first though. Which would have equated to a few billion dollars they'd have to make on software sales... which I don't think they'd have made up with software sales.

for $299 in 2006, they could get around half the horse power of a x360.
