Speaking to VentureBeat, the company CEO suggested that the Wii is unlikely to receive a HD makeover, but its successor could carry the technology.
"If we have an opportunity to make a new console, it will probably support HD because it is now common throughout the world," said Iwata.
"As far as the Wii is concerned, we have not found a significant reason to make it HD compatible at this time. What is the significant meaning to the users? I don’t think we should do it unless we find that reason."
Previous rumours have suggested that a HD successor to the Wii is being targeted for 2011.
