HD itself isn't going away, of course, but it will be remembered for what it is: marginally sharper pictures and nothing more.
This is the context in which the 360 and PS3 will be remembered, much in the same way that the Vectrex will be remembered if vector monitors ever catch on: early attempts to bring the technology to the masses, but attempts which ultimately failed to gain traction because they brought nothing of substance to the table.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
