My 56" HDTV has a regular-ass DVD player, an ancient VCR, a NES, a SNES, and a Wii hooked up to it, and it's working out just fine. Having an HDTV doesn't instill in me a burning desire to go buy HD content. And most people with HDTVs still don't know what HD content is. They buy an HDTV and still watch their same old movies and video games on it, with no new cables or anything. So the HDTV adoption rate will be much higher than the amount of people who know the difference or care.
HD is still a marketing buzzword and nothing more, especially when they can't make up their mind on what HD really means. They used to call anything over 480i "ED" for enhanced definition. So 480p (which the Wii can do) is ED. But then suddenly that wasn't good enough, and "HD" was 720p or more. Then suddenly that wasn't good enough, and "true HD" was 1080p or more. Pixel counts do not effect item collecting, gameplay, fun, or even GOOD BEAUTIFUL VISUALS, which we had on the SNES and every system since. And if the whole world switches over to HD overnight, they'll come up with some other bullshit marketing term, like "super HD" and then try to cram that down our throats. If I can find 100 hidden packages in GTA3 on a PS2 on a tiny paleolithic television that blurs and barely has color, I can do the same with 100 hidden feathers in Assassin's Creed. I can't believe this guy is moaning about visuals for a stupid bonus collectathon. I'm sure all the game's great user reviews are gushing about the gorgeous feathers they collected.
And lulz at him saying "Wii Fitness." Game sells 22 million copies and this guy can't even get the name right 'cuz he hates it so much.
