@ Rath, I meant that the Wii's graphics are TOO powerful! We don't want amazing graphics this generation. I was hoping for early PS1 level graphics!! Imagine the Wii selling for $199 at launch.......

 

 If you can't provide an adequate argument within a viable context, then you've no argument.

HD Gaming is something that doesn't just affect console cost but development costs. Where as the Wii has become an island of sorts this generation for developers to find sanctuary in, had they embraced HD graphics, they would have severly hindered the Wii's success as it stands and allowed 360 and PS3 to compete with the Wii at their own game, not Nintendo's. In addition, All three consoles embracing HD would have ensured a greater market crash then we are seeing now.

Graphics are not so much the problem for the Wii but developers not trying to make full use of what is there or put serious projects on the Wii. Third Party developers are the greatest X-factor this generation for the Wii.
