Many point to the argument that developers for sports games and shooters want more horsepower because their niche audience wants to see prettier graphics, etc. on those types of games. Something else to consider, however, is that some games simply can't be made right now for the Wii due to processing power not being able to keep up with the Artificial Intelligence that some games require and that the HD consoles can provide. A lot of horsepower goes into AI in some current-generation games (e.g. CoD) and the Wii simply can't provide it. I realize this is just an ancillary argument to why DQX isn't an HD killer but I thought that it might deserve at least a little thought.
Also, the original post was just silly. Sure it will make a difference but it's not an HD killer by any stretch.
EDIT: I realize my argument about horsepower and AI doesn't make sense since they're developing CoD games for the Wii with scaled down graphics and AI and people don't really seem to notice or care that the AI is inferior. My bad!
