Nintendo Wii storage solution is here
Last year we reported that a Nintendo Wii storage solution was upon us that will allow you to store and load games directly off of an SD card. At today's Nintendo press conference at GDC 2009, the company has just announced that an SD menu has been added to the Wii software, and is actually available right now for download via a system update.
The new feature will allow for SDHC cards up to 32GB to be used to store and play games. You'll also have the option to download games directly to your SD card via the Wii Shop Channel.

If the Wii was a htpc with hdmi, then it would have a bigger audience.
tsk, tsk. Let me give you a better advice: get a real LIFE.
The Wii has the largest audience of the next gens - period. They OWN the market, and I would anticipate that "next"-next-gen consoles will try to model themselves more akin to the Wii's successful recipe.

Based on the numbers - there's not a damned thing wrong with any "rendition" of the Wii.

- We have 2 Wiis, one for the kids, and one for the parents. I was hoping we could move files from one to the other. But no such luck. Any time I want to play something that I paid to download I have to go to the Wii that it was originally downloaded to.
