1. The fact almost all TVs are LCD/Plasma now. Wii looks noticebly worse on them. Meaning in 2 years when CRTs are gone. You will have to buy used TVs to get the best graphics out of your Wii.
2. Have you seen 300? at the movies? The trailer looks better at 1080p than the movie looks at the theater. (this is sheer detail. 1080p has more detail than a film theater)
3. I dont know anyone who has experienced HDTV at home, that a HDTV is *not* on their 'to buy' list.
I watch Greys Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Men in Trees, and such in HD. When I go visit my parrents... they dont have HD. And I watch it in SD. And I sit there for the first 15 minutes. Cussing saying. "This looks like CRAP. CRAP!!!! Get a real TV."
When my 26inch HDTV looks better than their 27inch SDTV from 10feet. You can Notice the diffrence... that far away... It is a MAJOR diffrence. 1080p is the future of HD. But in all honesty, I dont care if it's there yet or not. 1080p is what the *new* digital theaters run at. They look 2x better than a film theater. Well not quite 1080p They are 68pixels taller.
I feel HD will be very imporant starting next year. 2007 is the year of HD... at least that's what every retailer, and manufacturer is saying.
720p is enough for me. Why the Wii cant do it. I dont know.
1.) Most new TVs are LCD or Plasma but most people only upgrade their TV every 5 to 10 years; we should see 50% of households have HDTVs in 2010 or 2011 ...
2.) I haven't seen 300 ... It may be pretty but I actually like plot and acting ...
3.) My brother has a 1080p HDTV and I have a 720p HDTV, I have seen 1080p and I'm in no rush to move away from DVD quality movies/games ...
The Wii will run into trouble when HD-DVD or Blu-Ray sales start to surpass DVD sales; which, if these formats are adopted at the same rate as DVD was, will mean that the Wii will be in troulble in 2011 or 2012 ...
