HD Penetration.

That Guy said:

I have a question. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most of the people here who support Wii are downplaying HD as much as they can, saying that its not that big of a deal. whereas, PS3/Xbox fans are on the other end of the spectrum, insisting that HD is everything. The truth is that its probably somewhere in the middle.

Back to my question.

If the Nintendo Wii supported HD? Would Wii fans still downplay HD? And would PS3/Xbox people push HD like its the greatest thing since sliced bread?

 

 

The truth is, HD isn't that big of a deal yet.  It's definitely a cool technology and will become the standard in the future.  But I don't think it's that important today, tomorrow, or even over the next couple of years.

Even if the Wii supported HD TV, I still would not go out and buy one today.  (Heck, I still haven't gotten a Wii either.)  I'm not going to let a video game system dictate what TV I own and vice versa.  

I agree with you that some fanboys too often use the lack of high def. against the Wii and those on the other side are going to try and drown them out.  But I honestly think Nintendo called it right in deciding that HD doesn't matter now or in the near future.  Maybe towards the end of this console generation it will become important, but I'm sure there will be a Wii HD by then.
