It wouldn't take much to adapt it, a special mount for the Wiimote and some LED safety goggles as far as hardware goes. Whether or not the components inside the Wii have enough horsepower to make it work is another thing. I would bet it would need to be the next generation Wii, but the PS3 probably has the engine to make it work now.

I hope that he figured out a way to patent this and that someone hired him. That's incredible.

I wonder if Nintendo can afford to build a better/HD Wii now?
From Afterdark"Nintendo also revealed that for the 9 month period ending December 31st 2007, profit was $2.43 billion USD, almost double its 2006 profit"

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...

There's a new thread, Name the nex gen Wii. I put my vote in for WiiHD. Since Wii tends to go their own way and against the grain, I would bet they go for HD-DVD too, as it looks like BR is winning at least in the propaganda wars.
So far as my comment as to a better Wii, I was refering to some better quality parts. The drives are noisy and the video outputs have been failing on the earliest models, I have 2 friends that had to send their's in as the 480i output died.
[Knock on wood] Mine is still working but my extended warranty is almost up, so I figure it will die shortly after that.
