Exactly was I thinkin'! :lol:

SD looks terrible on many HDTVs. Nintendo made a mistake by not supporting HD, plain and simple.

but at a $250 price point you'd get about 5fps.Hir0_N

] HD isn't the problem. Wii lacks the ammount of ram, cpu and gpu spunk that they need to run the engines they are on PS3/360 ala UE3.0hellzhitman

Yes the Wii could have HD...but at a $250 price point you'd get about 5fps.Hir0_N

I must have imagined all those 720p Xbox games, then... the FACT is, there would have been no harm in Nintendo allowing the Wii to output at HD resolutions. Developers would've been able to choose what resolution they wanted their games in. Most games would still be in 480p, yes, but that is no excuse for disallowing anything higher when some games (*cough* Wii Sports *cough*) could most certainly handle it and look much better to HDTV owners because of it..

first off, the Wii is capable of pushing a native 720p display. it would be easy for them to implement this to the Wii with a simple firmware upgrade (i.e. Xbox360s 1080p upgrade). the reason nintendo did not implement this from the begining, is because they are going in a different direction then the competition. The ps2 could only UPSCALE the resolution, but the actual textures in the games were not HighDef, like ps3, or xbox360. all of those games' textures are rendured, and are native highdef.

I own a Wii, and im kinda upset that they havent implemented a lot of things, like online gaming, HD capabilities, and a rechargable Controller. If nintendo was smart, they'd see what the competition was doing that wiped the floor with the gamecube. Nintendo would be hands down the best console over all if they had some solid online without this gimpy exchange of secret codes, and pointless "channels" instead of online at all. Checking the wheathers alright if im REALLY bored, and the news is much more work then actually typing msn.com and finding out headlines and sports scores. I think Nintendo needs to stop being TO different, and focus more on what gamers REALLY want. you dont see PS3 or Xbox360 owners crying cause they dont have a forcast/news button on their XMB or Dashboard do you?

back to the Point, The original Xbox was able to output 720p native Resolutions on ancient tech. the Wii is pretty powerful, even if the specs seem to say no. the xbox and Wii both have 64 mb of ram, but the wii's is GDDR3, and the xbox's is just sd-ddr. Nintendo is downplaying its capabilities.

this is a rumor not a great soruce

I have been happy with 480i all my life, I am not too fussy.OGTiago

You know it's actually kind of sad to here some of Nintendo's faithful fans:roll: ragging on them for the whole HD nonsense. For all that don't really know why the company excluded HD, or you are just mad that they excluded HD. The Execs at Nintendo didn't put it into the console because of a) Cost would drive up the price
b) MOST people in the US don't have an HDTV...only like 20% or so, DO. Doesn't it make more sense to hit the market with more potential customers?
c) Not alot of the so-called games with the 720p - 1080p graphics are doing that well; not to mention play all that well, but hey they SURE look good!

Nintendo did alot of us not so upitty up people a big favor by not making the console HD, I guess I can see why some people are upset, but hey it's working progress and who knows we may just be blessed by the big N sometime in the future on a totally different console that has all the features that we truly want. I said before this Wii console was kinda like a test the market console for the whole motion sensitivity controls, and now they know that the market is there for the Next Gen scheme. So be aware of the possibilities for the future console releases. We shall have our HD, when the market is majority HD, and the Big N is ready to give it to us.

It isn't pretty. It does actually get tiring.
