Coming in 2011 - Nintendo's Wii HD?
The largest game manufacturer in Japan has dropped a bombshell by leaking that Nintendo is currently developing a high definition upgrade to their immensely popular Wii gaming platform. But in addition to high definition, the word is that Nintendo is also working on a new controller interface as well.
Scheduled to be released in 2011, the Wii HD will seek to even the playing field between all three platforms, an inevitability that is already happening with both Microsoft and Sony already working on motion control.
But the president of Square Enix head Yoichi Wada also believes that as time moves on, the three gaming platforms will also come to look and perform more like each other.
So the question is, with a level playing field, can the Wii maintain its popularity or will the market suddenly see it as a gimmick which only managed to keep ahead thanks to its motion control edge?

I think the WII, or Nintendo should be the first one to release a game on one type of disc format, that plays on the ps3, xbox, pc, and the wii, in multiplayer online format. That’s right an online game that brings the whole bunch together.
