HD Wii By 2011?

Posted by Soulskill on from the wiisearch-and-development dept.

1Up noticed an interesting post up at WhatTheyPlay which put together some public information with more from private sources suggesting that the next version of the Wii console is planned for 2011. Quoting: "Unlike previous console transitions from Nintendo, the new system will be presented as a true successor to the Wii, and is being dubbed by those that have seen the presentation as 'Wii HD.' There is no indication if this will be its eventual name, but the nature of the transition has been characterized as similar to 'the shift from Game Boy to Game Boy Advance,' where familiar, key elements were left intact while the core hardware was made more powerful. It is expected by all those that we have spoken to on the subject that the new device will retain the Wii name in part."

    Please, this isn't news, speculation can hardly ever be taken serious, and this belongs on Digg, not Slashdot.

      Didn't you hear? Slashdot is the new Digg, and Digg is the new myspace.

    and in 2011 chances are that it'll be a dirt cheap 64 or 128 gig Flash SSD
