In the comments where some are making comments like this would alienate the Wii's existing owners, I don't see how it would have much of an impact there because like I said I think it would be the exact same Wii except for the fact that it also has the ability to outout signals in HD.

That is our point... it can't be done.

Read scotties post.

IF it is the same console, but with the ability to output in a higher resolution, all the games would look worse on both SD and HD televisions.

IF it is not the same console inside, but has a faster processor to cope with the extra resolution, then the old games would still look the same, but new games would have to have 2 versions of the same game on the disc, otherwise they would either look exactly the same or would not work on the older non-HD Wiis, thus alienating the existing audience.

Like I said orignally, this prediction is almost as stupid as the non blu-ray PS3, It is not a technical possibility without alienating the old audience.

 

Could they come up with an attachment that you plug the Wii's video output signal cord into and then it converts it into an hd signal?

 

You mean like an upscaler.

Most HDTVs already have upscaling in them.... all an upscaler does is to help stop compatibility problems between SD and HD signals.... so it could help some HDTVs to stop it looking worse than it does on an SDTV.

At the moment, The Wii does look better [than SD] on most HDTVs if you buy the correct cables and set it up properly.... but there are some TVs that have issues or are difficult to set up correctly, and so sometimes things like jaggies can be abnormally more noticable.

Generally though that can be fixed by messing around with the TV settings, or if you haven't bought them, to use the component cables.
