Actually it doesn't end that "myth" at all. All it does is show that plenty of Wii owners keep using it with HDTVs, ignoring the fact that other consoles can look better because they personally enjoy whatever games they choose to play on the Wii. The fact that the Wii is tied with the 360 basically implies that HD support doesn't matter to them.
Furthermore i'd put forth that as this console generation goes forward HDTV rates amongst gamers could infact decrease for each console. Early console adopters who paid $400 for a launch 360 or $600 for a PS3 (or more for either considering eBay markups) are far more likely to also have not only the type of disposable income but the desire to play them on a better HDTV. Once the Wii gets even lower and the 360 and PS3 make it to $200 or less more people can buy them but they are also the type of people who wouldn't throw down hundreds or thousands for an HDTV.
That theory is of course assuming those mass market consumers waiting for price drops don't also jump on HDTVs which can continue to get cheaper and throw my theory completely out the window.
