Nintendo America boss Reggie Fils-Aime says the next Nintendo console, Wii 2 if you like, will not simply be about introducing a HD upgrade, but adding more new capability to its gaming offerings.

"Over 26 million consumers have bought a Wii, so the consumer is saying that, for them, the quality of the visual is not nearly as important as the overall entertainment - the overall value of that experience and that's really what's propelled us," Fils-Aime said during a video interview with CNBC.

"In terms of what the future holds, we've gone on record to say that the next step for Nintendo in home console will not be to simply make it HD, but to add more and more capability," he added.

"We'll do that when we totally tapped out all of the experiences for the existing Wii and we are nowhere near doing that yet, so lots of ongoing opportunity for the consumer in the current generation."

This really goes without saying if you have any understanding of Nintendo's business strategy.

Whatever wii 2 brings to the table it will be an instant "fad" and then copied some years later.

Mark my words.

Of course.Going HD won't suffice.

sweet i want more inovation from ninty

Duh!

Also i seriously doubt it will be named wii2.

It's SUPERWII, baby.

Nah, just kidding. Nintendo wants a unique product, like the wii itself. Naming it just wii2 underrates that.

I just want Mario/Link/Samus in HD. I don't want anything else. Will be interesting though.

the next Nintendo console will be named " WOW " haha

It'll be called Wiii or Wee.

This almost goes without saying... but I have NO idea what they could possibly bring to the table now after motion controls. I'm stumped.
