would you guys stop implying stuff into what I'm saying? did I say 480 was hd? no. did I say the wii can output 1080p? no. what I meant with the fourth "misconception" is that the wii is capable of, albeit not very well, outputting an hd signal HARDWARE WISE. In the link http://wiinside.blogspot.com/2007/04/inside-wii.html it is stated that the only reason that games on the wii are resolution restricted BY THE SDK and not by the Hollywood GPU.

 

Except of course that it's framebuffer (2MB) is about 1/4 (slightly less) of what they'd need for a 1080P signal.

So no, the hardware can't put out a 1080P signal. It does not have enough memory to do so.
