When Kim was asked how long Microsoft would make Xbox 360, he responded, "One day longer than the lifespan of the PlayStation 3." Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime also recently commented that Nintendo is not readily seeking to replace their console, the Wii. Perhaps this console generation will go on for much longer than some had thought.

I can certainly see the scenario of a Wii HD coming late 2009 early 2010. Nintendo certainly will be working on a replacement and I imagine that started as soon as the first Wii hit the stores.
It will likely depend on any noticeable decline in demand. As the demand and expectations of users grows with regards to HD we could see a shift away. Also I see the other console makers upping the ante to try and capture some of the market. Yes they have not managed up till now but that will not stop them trying.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

I wouldn't want to bet any money on Wii HD by 2009 - 2010 rumor. It does not make sense.
In fact, I am willing to wager money (small amount only please, since I loss a lot of money on ) on it NOT happening in 2009 - 2010. I wouldn't mind getting 20-1 bet (I lose $100 if it happen, I win $2000 if it DIDN'T happen) on it, if someone are so sure that it will happen. :)
Regarding strong demand for "something new/better", if ALL console maker ignore them, nothing will happen (I don't think any company are willing to enter as fourth console maker just to satisfy those demand).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

i'm guessing they're all saying this considering present factors, economy, hardware... and they're all pretty early in the console cycle... by year 5-6 there might a pretty strong consumer demand for "something new/something better"... weren't there some believable sings about Wii hd by 2009-2010?[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 444 ]bids

If Microsoft held on to this policy, it would be a very interesting race. 10 years console for PS3 and Wii, and 11 years console for X360 ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

2009 (hopefully) will be the first year that Wii are not supply constrained in US. Wii is supply constrained in US in 2008, 2007 and 2006.
BEFORE Nintendo HAVE TO release Wii HD, they still have lots of options, like :
- 2 price drop, probably from $ 250 to $ 200, and $200 to $150.
- new colors
Wii HD coming late 2009 early 2010 ? Very, very small possibility. It might happen late 2010 early 2011, but the possibility is still small. Why ? Because instead of releasing Wii HD at that time, they would be better off releasing Wii 2 in 2012, 6 years after Wii release.
To whoever downbid my post and welshbloke post,
If you don't agree with our posts and reasoning, instead of downbidding us, why don't you tell us why you don't agree, so we can have a discussion ?
