Nintendo: Adding HD not enough for next step

There will be more to the Wii's successor than that - additional elements.

Speaking recently with Kotaku, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that while high definition might be part of the feature set of the platform holder's next console, there will be more to it than that.

"What we have said, repeatedly, is that that's not the way we at Nintendo do things. The way we at Nintendo do things is, you know, when we will move to a new generation, it's because there are some fundamental things the [current] console cannot do," said Fils-Aime. "What that says is that simply the addition of HD capability will not be the next step for us. There will be more to it. There will be additional capability. There will be additional elements, and, given that, it is far into the future."

Asked if that meant there won't be a new Wii in 2010, Fils-Aime said: "Not to announce with you here today."
