Or two discs, or two different packages, or just a Wii version that WiiHD upconverts. I don't know, but maybe Wii games are scalable (like PC games) and 480p is just a hardware thing?
I don't know, I can't see it being that big of an issue. PS3 split Sony's installed base, Xbox360 split Microsoft's (heck, so did Xbox), Wii split Nintendo's. The Wii won't last forever (even though some grandmas might never want to upgrade). There will be a WiiHD, it's just a question of when and what it will look like. (I really can't see them not having HDMI out.) Now (or soon) might be a good time with Microsoft and Sony making their big moves into motion detection, and giving the classic Nintendo franchises their first HD versions would just be logical as you're probably gonna have the hardware to do it anyways. That would make a lot of sales. What's gonna be the killer app for the next gen XBox or PS? Marginally better graphics and the next iteration of Halo? More likely, they'll be more evolutionary than revolutionary.
No, I haven't thought it all through, and I don't mind you pushing me to do so. It was just an idea. I still think it's a good idea.
