Forums - Nintendo - And if nintendo releases Wii slim?

It would probably not shrink much, as it's already so small.

As for a lighter console using (even) less power, that's probably happening incrementally... I don't see why Nintendo shouldn't perform die shrinks of their CPU and GPU to reduce their cost.

That is more likely. Unless there are some issues to fix, unrelated to the insides, the system design is fine. That's why the 360 just had interior redesigns to make it work right.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Nintendo should only worry about a Wii2 and not worry about updating what they already have on the market. I don't need a new Wii color, or a smaller Wii. I just want a Wii2.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

People don't buy the Wii for the looks, they buy it for the non-games

A redesign with a Matte finish and more RAM instead of a glossy finish. And a bit more curves around the edges with better hardware and a 120 GB harddrive would be very nice.

Whats the point in a 120GB HDD when there isn't enough content to fill it. The entire Wiiware/VC library is less than 10GB

There won't be a Wii Slim. Pretty sure. The Wii is already very small.

But still, I wonder how much smaller Nintendo could make it. It's certainly possible to shrink it. They could probably take a few milimeters off of the front. Maybe a half centimeter in height. and possibly a few inches in length. So only slightly smaller. But even then that would be so so tiny! I'm only guessing here though. I have no idea.



It's old technology, the console itself is already very slim.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

No its too small already, i rather see a price drop.

The Wii slim would be very compact indeed. Maybe they could add a screen and make it battery powered?



I LOVE ICELAND!

the wii shouldnt worry about changing the look of the console, but the features of it, they should get rid of friend codes and make user names, have a movie store, and find a way to attach a hard drive and get alot of downloadable content on the wii shop channel
