About the Wii's power, it's NOT underpowered for SD games, it's an SD console for God's sake, Standard Definition. IF the Wii was designed as a HD console, then it would be way more powerful.
Is that so hard to understand? |
THE WII is AN EDTV conosleNOT SD GEE! 480p means EDTV!
|
EDTV res is part of the SD res, if you don't believe me, go wiki it.
|
No it is a higher res and runs well on HD screen and SD looks like crap on a HDTV
|
By definition it is not a higher resolution it's just progressive scan and how it or any SD standard looks on a HDTV depends on the TV.
|
Actually, 480p is twice the amount of pixels of 480i. It really is a higher resolution. 480i never looks good on an LCD screen, never.
|
I understand that it's a superior standard but i didn't know that it could be described as a higher resolution. It's my understanding that according to convention resolution is determined by the total number of pixels that can be rendered in a scene not pixels per frame (where 480p is twice 480i). Semantics aside, 480p is absolutely better.
Admittedly 480i doesn't look good on LCD TVs but 480p can look pretty crap too, depending on the TV. I don't game on an LCD for this reason.
