They could afford to do it before. It was just that they wanted a product that was easy on the pocketbook for the consumer. Add in all of the graphics and sounds engines to get HD gaming, and the Wii would have been priced up near the XBox/PS3, which was not their goal.

It does make you wonder what is next though... I just hope that they dont't call the second generation Wii the WiiII...
