Nintendo Not Looking at a Hardware Update Anytime Soon
With Microsoft coming out at CES 2010 and saying that there’s no need to launch a new console, Nintendo has decided to quickly followed suit. Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime, in an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, said consumers shouldn’t expect a new console or any other hardware updates for that matter in the coming months.
For months, pundits have speculated if Nintendo would release a high-definition version of the popular family console, but it doesn’t look like that is something Nintendo is focused on as we move into the annual Game Developers Conference.
In a move to make the Wii into a home entertainment platform – much like its Xbox 360 and PlayStation competitors – Nintendo is allowing its owners to stream Netflix movies and TV episodes to their television via the Wii. Nintendo isn’t the only company taking inspiration from its competitors. Both Sony and Microsoft are jumping on the motion-control bandwagon, hoping to see the same success as Nintendo has. Do you think Nintendo will up the ante even more and announce a high-def Wii by year’s end?
