Sega's new console is coming out this December.
You haven't heard!!? SEGA's new console launches TOMORROW 09/09/09 Return of the Dreamcast!
I'd probably buy it if it came in a new color and cost less. Probably. But I don't believe it at all.
An HD wii wouldn't split the market would it?
You are right. It would split the market. I'm not saying that I want a Wii HD but it would make more sense in the next generation than doing one next year.
A WiiHD wouldn't split the market if all it did was upscale to 720p. Remember the Wii emulator? Stogi started a thread on it if you don't remember. All a WiiHD would need to do is have stats bumped up enough to up support upscaling and maybe include 2GB of internal flash for the Hi-end consumer.
release it at the current price of $250 and drop the price of the regular Wii to $200 both including the same WiiSports Bundle and I think you have a winner. Not splitting the market at all, since it plays the exact same games.
It not very likely to happen, anytime soon atleast, so don't put any faith into this at all.
