I'd be disappointed if Nintendo's next console was just an enhanced Wii.  Then again, it seems like the logical pattern considering they went from NES to Super NES and those were their 2 major sellers

NES->SNES (Gamepad, 2d pixels) 
Gameboy->Gameboy Advance (Basic Portable gaming)
N64->Gamecube  (Analog stick, 3d roaming)
DS/DSi->3DS (Not sure if valid)
Wii->? (motion/ir control)
 
Yeah, it's most logical that Wii Whatever (super hd 2) will probably just be an enhancement of the Wii.  That's usually their basic strategy. First go in with some innovation, then expand/beef it up. Innovation is too risky to do continuously. Even with the Wii and DS they played it safe by minimizing costs(using underpowered hardware, minimal features) so that even if it did fail, it wouldn't have hurt much. And now that they've succeeded they can just offer a better graphics/processing solution.

nope they are still selling out

Didn't they announce that they are creating a Wii HD in the near future?

I hope it's got a different name, Wii HD just sounds so lazy. But their naming of the 3DS proves they aren't above being uninventive.

It will be something different, but it will build off of the foundation that the Wii has set forth.  I hope that makes sense.

Maybe they'll go back to their roots and call it ...Wii-NES?

....

Yeah, you can smack me now.

It's likely that whatever Nintendo follows the Wii with will have motion control of some sort.  I'd also be surprised if it wasn't backwards-compatible with Wii games.  Still, given the unpredictable nature of Nintendo hardware announcements, I'm not putting any money on when and what Nintendo will announce as a Wii follow-up.

I read on GameInformer once that this guy said that he thinks Nintendo will drop support for the wii one day because the lack of games or something like that. They shouldn't make a new console for a very long time. Maybe in 10 years, when they can make something revolutionary.

I hope not, fuck the Wii. 
 
Please note Claude, I love you and hope that out differences will not set us apart. ^__^

Wii HD would be a terrible name. Super Wii would be terrible too, but in a way I can get excited about. I'd buy a Super Wii.  
 
I think they'll probably continue down this path for at least one more console, though it's not like they have any obligation to, they made money on every bit of hardware sold, and the motion controls and other bits of hardware are so low-tech for what we have these days, that it doesn't seem like they invested a lot in the platform's development. They could entirely walk away from motion control with nothing but profits.  
 
Still kinda pissed about Nintendo not giving enough of a shit about attach rates. Nintendo's picked a quick n' dirty route to a lot of money in a formerly untapped market, but those people have zero brand loyalty, so as soon as these other motion accessories for other consoles come out, people will buy those, buy two games for them and move on. They don't stick with companies, they don't buy games, it's a market you can't keep selling things too, and I hope Nintendo will eventually realize there's a middle ground that they need to occupy. They completely alienated the long-standing fans of Nintendo. The DS is an amazing platform with a great mix of family friendly games, and more involving traditional games, and that's why it's the most successful piece of damn gaming hardware still available. They need to make a console more like the DS in terms of game selection.  
 
This post turned out to be longer than I expected haha.
