Console kiddies don't really understand resolution. I can emulate Zelda for N64 in 1080p, I could even use the high-res texture pack that's been made for the emu, but it's not going to drastically change the game.
When console kiddies talk about "HD" I think they're trying to refer to visual effects like bloom lighting, bump mapping, shaders and so on, especially since many of their favorite games (GTA IV, Halo, etc.) aren't technically high-def and run well below 720p.
