Nintendo might do a more streamlined version with a harddrive if sales start to decline 3 yrs from now to boost sales up, but to be honest even that is pushing it. With the way the Wii is selling, this is in for the long haul. You won't see another difference most likely until Wii 2. Nintendo is both shocked and thrilled by the success of the Wii and they are afraid to even touch the situation for the good or bad right now. They are in watch mode and are back to their former tricks of releasing the tried and true, following the DS model, doing connectivity and online minimally, and releasing a console every 4 to 5 yrs.

I hope they'll snap out of this though and do something with the Wii Channels, SD reading, Keyboard attachments, harddrive, etc.... but for anyone who knows Nintendo, this is all wishful thinking at this point.
