The rumor mill has started churning again and the latest is that a Nintendo Wii HD is in the works. It’s not something slated for fall of 07 or even 08, but is an HD Wii a possibility? A number of major online magazines are claiming it’s for real.
PCWorld’s article is still trying to compare the Wii to the PS3 and Xbox360, which seems ludicrous to me. How can industry analysts not just understand one simple thing, “The Wii was designed to do what it does.” Yes it does look good poised several feet away from the screen…but I don’t need to be close to swing my wiimote. duh!?
CVG predicts that analysts predict there will be a Hi-def Wii in the next few years. The entire time I’m reading this article I can’t help but feel that Sony or Microsoft is involved somehow. After all, what better way to slow down unit sales than the possibility of it being obsolete in a year or two. Not that jumping on the bandwagon necessarily applies to the Wii generation.
Even ProG picked up the article to some extent, jumping on the analyst train. Yawn. If a consumer wanted a high end gaming machine that cost a fortune, they would have purchased a PS3 or Xbox 360. However, I think Nintendo’s formula is working out just fine, at least it appears that way in their sales. Why would analysts try to rain on their parade, unless….
Sony is grasping at straws!!!!
