“Consumers may hope for improved graphics, and my guess is that Nintendo will comply,” said analyst Michael Pachter in an email to GamePro.”In two or three years, commodity prices for graphics processors and CPUs may decline to the point that a High Definition Wii could be introduced. If so, Nintendo will likely introduce one,” he added.

I am still not sure that this will happen. I see Nintendo maybe releasing a new game consol a little earlier then the normal 5 year cycle, probably no earlier than a 4 year cycle.
