Looks like Nintendo is up to something. Nintendo’s two biggest manufacturer’s, Mitsumi and Hosiden, are seeing orders drop for the Nintendo Wiis. This could simply mean that we’ll be seeing upgraded Wiis in the near future.

Nintendo has to update the Wii sometime soon. The software on the Wii is getting ancient while the games continue to bring in people of all ages. In order to compete in the HD world that we live in today, Nintendo will have to upgrade their graphics on the console to provide HD video. Without an HD Wii, not many will be buying the new console. If Nintendo comes out with an HD version of their Wii system, they can rake in money like they did when the Wii was first released.

What doesn’t make sense is that Nintendo sold a butt load of Wiis during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so why are they cutting back in production? The only answer seems to be that they’re working on something better or are about to release a new colorway with some updated features but we’d have already heard about these new features, right? Either way, I’m excited to know there is a possibility a new Wii console might be in the works. It’s the only way I’ll ever consider getting a Wii again.

HD isn’t really important on the Wii since the target audience is not concerned about image quality etc

HD Wii would matter since we’re entering in the age of HD!

Hope this is all true.
