Forums - Gaming - Would you buy the Wii HD?

greenmedic88 on 29 June 2009

As soon as Q4 2010? http://www.industrygamers.com/news/xbox-360-will-fall-to-third-place-thanks-to-japan-says-pachter/ "We expect the dominant console at the end of the this cycle to be the Wii, as we think that the console's low price point, innovative control mechanism, and compatibility with standard definition televisions will provide it with a competitive advantage over the next two years. We expect Nintendo to sustain this competitive advantage by introducing a high definition version of the Wii, perhaps as early as the end of 2010, in order to convert its large installed base into true 'next generation' households," Pachter said.

when we get the wand next spring my PS3 will serve as Wii HD

Only if I could afford it and had a HDtv by then otherwise no.
I still have my sony SDtv in my apt...oh and the next console better be BC with my current wii games.

Otherwise I will wait. Still I think this console wars will be longer than traditional 5 year ones and we have a few more years till the next set.

In 2010? No, please no... 2012 sure... I believe the Wii still has a LOT of life left in it. I want to see it finally hit it's potential. I want to see games that use all of the Wii's horsepower. I want to see the Wii expand it's menu system. I want to see the Wii become more online driven. I don't need another console to offer me these things and have to wait till they get it right. The Wii has the ability to keep changing itself. So please, upgrade my Wii through software and don't release a new system till 2012.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Many factors affect it, including
1. How much HD
2. The cost
3. Exclusive games

This.

This is Pachter, so it's not going to happen. If it does, then Nintendo better have some amazing games only available for the new console to get people to switch.

And a true next generation household is the one that has motion sensing control not stunning graphics  ;)

Nintendo said that in 2006, Microsoft and Sony confirmed it in 2009.

 

Michael Pachter FTW... not.
