Another Analyst Suggests Wii 1.5 On the Way

[castlezelda]

Wii 1.5 might be coming.

Not Pachter so it's safe to read onMaybe 1.5 will be in silver




Despite Satoru Iwata's recent declaration that the eventual Wii successor will be a surprise, another industry analyst has predicted we'll see a stopgap between now and the launch of the main event.


Piers Harding-Rolls, analyst at Screen Digest, believes Nintendo will release an upgraded version of the Wii before launching its official follow-up, though doesn't say what extra features either the upgrade or eventual successor will include. Pegging the Wii's successor for a 2012 launch in Japan and a 2013 release worldwide, the analyst says we could see an improved Wii between now and 2012.


With Nintendo stating time and again it won't be releasing a HD upgrade for the Wii, it remains to be seen what new features a potential stopgap could have: built-in MotionPlus, a hard drive, improved online functions? If Mr Harding-Rolls is to be believed, we could find out next year.

just speculation if it was a handheld "DS" then i would be nearly certain of a stopgap & an upgraded system. but i dont really see the point of an hd wii
since blu ray one in the picture war. & a better hardrive and or processing technology upgrade seems like an entire new system, but that's just me. i could be wrong, but i dont know what the future holds i'm not psychic.
