WiiHD Cometh?

No, not the blog, the next generation of Wii. What They Play is reporting that multiple reluctant sources have confirmed that Ninty is presenting the new console to game developers under the moniker "Wii HD". Nice name. What They Play Also points to R&D costs as consistent with a new a console being just around the corner.

Supposedly this is more than just a refresh (Wii 1.1 or what not), but the sources weren't very specific on features other than HD visuals, an assumption of serious drive space, and backwards compatibility.

Due date? 2011. Hopefully we can get some on-the-record confirmation before that.

It does have a certain ring to it.

Still, I'd almost prefer to see before 2011. Personally, I kind of expected a mild Wii refresh late next year. Not really a new console, just a higher resolution support (720p) and maybe some decent built in storage.

Yeah, but I would like it to be where you can trade in your console and pay a small fee, instead of having to buy another one.
