Will you be satisfied with a 720p Wii 2?

Are you kidding me? I mean were talking what 3-4 years from now and they still won't be able to put out a console that can display 1080i/p resolution? How lazy are they? Would be unacceptable in my book

 

You do realise that this is just a hypothetical question?

 

Yea i realize its a hypothetical question, i'm just blown away at the suggestion of it even happening. It's like saying what if MS stuck with DVD technology as its media storage format for its next system in 3 years?

I've had a 1080p 57 inch for over 2 years now, i know thats not the norm but more and more people are getting high def tv's, how hard is it to put an output resolution into a machine of 1080i/p and not just 720p?

Which looks better Quake 3 Arena @1080p or Call of Duty 4 @720p?

When you're trying to produce a videogame console one of the most important things for its success (and your company's success) is to keep the research and development costs (and manufacturing costs) to a reasonable level. Being that the difference in visual quality between 720p and 1080p is very minor it is one of the places that it makes the most sense to cut in order to keep costs at a reasonable level.

 

Quit an unfair comparison, your comparing an old as hell game to one released less then a year and a half ago.

 

Again Nintendo has absolutely 0 reason to put out a machine without 1080i/p capability. You sight R&D costs but High Def Resolutions have been around for quite some time now and will be even older years down the road when this is released. They should have 0 R&D costs when it comes to researching 1080i/p over 720p.
