The Wii was a gimmick that boomed with casuals, kids and elderly homes. It was a stroke of genius in terms of what they did (sell a roided GC, with cheap motion controls and make tons of money). Had they gone HD they would have faced a similar uphill battle as they did before because knowing Nintendo: they would have gone with a strange media format, would have lagged behind in online gaming, and still would have had a difficult relationship with 3rd parties... Mario and Zelda would have been great though.
