It makes sense to a point. This would for sure be a successor. I would think given the system’s popularity at this time though, it might be a bad idea to say anything now. I would at least think they would wait until after the holidays.

Oh, missed the 2011 line… then yeah, this makes sense obviously.

Sony called the successor to the Playstation the Playstation 2. Wii HD is a perfectly good name for the “actual successor console” to the Wii. And there’s likely to be a PS4 and an Xbox 361 ;) by 2011, so anything Nintendo is planning to launch by then better be a successor and not just a few added features.

Would it be too much to hope for Blu-ray playback and a decent “media center” type interface?

I dunno about a “Wii HD”. I think they’ll save any visual/res boost for the actual successor console.

A premium DVD playing Wii with more onboard flash (say 2-8GB) might be possible though? The new DS sounds like a premium model too, meaning we’ll likely see the current Wii and DS Lite around still alongside them (a la GBASP & GB micro).

so, even nintendo starts with multiple versions of their console? as long as it doesn’t reach PS3 proportions I don’t really care though.

if it is true in the first place, ofcourse.
