Analyst: Wii and Wii HD Will Be Similar to PS2/PS3
A "Wii HD" has been one of the longest swirling rumors in the
business, and one analyst in particular has touted its feasibility
more than most: Wedbush Securites Analyst Michael Pachter. Late last
month the analyst released a brief on the industry, where he predicted
that a Wii HD would be coming:
"We expect Nintendo to sustain [their] competitive advantage by
introducing a high definition version of the Wii, perhaps as early as
the end of 2010, in order to convert its large installed base into
true 'next-generation' households," Pachter said in June.
How, if Nintendo intends to do this, would they market this new high-
definition device? Would they phase out the current Wii system, or
treat the upgrade much in the same vein as the DS, DS Lite and DSi?
Neither, Pachter told us — look at the Wii and Wii HD as the
PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.
"Of course, it's just speculation," Pachter prefaced in an e-mail to
EndSights, "but I see them having two consoles in the market at once,
more like PS2 and PS3. They will likely try to get consumers to trade
up to the Wii Plus while still selling the Wii for $100 cheaper."

Pachter is insane, of course.

They better update those cartoony graphics if they're going HD.
Avatars look even sillier with more pixels.

The comparison to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 doesn't make any
sense unless the Wii HD is truly a next-generation version of the Wii
with serious upgrades (aside from just going to 720p or 1080p).

Wii HD's graphical horsepower is supposed to be MORE than just the Wii
(which is basicly a faster GameCube with more RAM) doing native HD
resolution. The leap from Wii to Wii HD is meant to be a leap like
going from GameBoy to GameBoy Advance or NES to SNES. or PS2 to
PS3.
Nintendo has apparently increased its R&D spending massively, since
after the Wii was released. This is not proof, but a fairly credible
report, one NOT by Pachter: http://www.whattheyplay.com/blog/2008/09/30/new-wii-due-by-2011/
