If production costs can be lowered by making the console smaller then business wise it seems a natural direction to take. And we all know console redesings boost sales, something Nintendo doesn't need right now, but maybe in a couple of years.
Technology on the Wii isn't new except the one in the wiimote, and that's in the controller, not in the console. I'm pretty sure a handheld with the power of the Wii could be made, so that means that the Wii could be even smaller, the only part that I believe can't be made smaller is the DVD drive. | I think the technology in the Wii would surprise you if you knew much about it. Most people assume new technology just means more power but that's incorrect. There is efficiency, size, development process, energy savings, etc... The Wii is actually pretty high tech, it's just not high powered tech. The Wii WILL have revisions just not anytime soon. |
I meant that the power that the Wii contains is not groundbreaking, so the console could still be shrinked more than it is right now. I didn't explain myself very well, sorry...
