"- Higher resolution does benefit most any game. It can make a crappy game look cleaner, and it can make great games even greater."
HD gaming is not just higher resolution. That is upscaling, and PCs have been doing that for years. Furthermore the Zelda picture you showed is clearly not just higher resolution
"It's quite possible because of cost/performance issues, Blu-Ray or some minor variant on Blu-Ray will end up being the format Nintendo uses because it's a widely manufactured and easily scalable technology."
That is not what you were discussing at first. You claimed that blu-ray would be as important for the next system as DVD was for the Wii, based on the format being as popular down the line, which is not what sales and growth of that format are showing.
"- Nintendo has said all along that they will offer an HD capable successor to the Wii at some point and that they are not anti-HD from day 1."
I wasn't denying that. Stop pretending I brought up points I didn't. Argue against my REAL points.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
