New Wii UPC linked to Play N' Learn product [update]

Update: Feeding the UPC provided by Codename Revolution into the 'UPC Database' yields a listing for "Wii Play N' Learn." More edutainment?

[Original Headline: "Rumor: New Wii on the horizon, SKU creates questions"]

Codename Revolution reports that a distributor contact says a "second Wii console" called "New Pack" is on the way. The UPC linked to this item apparently belongs to Nintendo, but no further information is available. Considering both Microsoft and Sony have had big console news in the last few months, it would seem only fair for Nintendo to get in on the action. But really, Nintendo just needs to get Wii on shelves to sell them. Why incentivize a system that retailers can't keep in stock anyway? If the new SKU pans out, it'll be interesting to see what it actually is.

I was thinking it is almost 1 year old and (at least in my area), you still have to hunt for one to buy. I got one (pure luck) because I just happen to be at the right place at the right time.

Whether you like the Wii or not, you have to be impressed that it is still selling (guessing) as good as when it first came out.

How about 3 Gamecubes duct taped together?

I hadn't even turned the Wii on if for about a month, but I popped Metriod in last night, and now I love it again.

Wii could definitely use some HD. I'd pay a little more for that.

High-quality SD is more important than HD.

I would much rather see standard anti-aliasing and 16MB of texture memory than have them try to force an SD system into HD. Of course, none of these things will happen.
