People on this site are asking about graphics of Wii, most of America and the world doesn't know of VGchartz and don't spend time on internent forums in addition your wife is married to a gamer so of course she knows a little more than normal. Most people in this great big world couldn't care less about HD, most owners of flat screeens don't have HD signal, sure grphics matter up to a point, but msot can't tell the difference between digital TV and HD tv, which is why you have people who think games like Mario and Sonic have amazing graphics, because its not as important as you seem to think

My wife still doesn't know what HD is. All she knows is the picture looks a lot better for some reason. This is why in stores 99% of the time, their HDTV are running a HD signal and it sells. So people who bought TV may not care about HD but they do care about a good picture which is HD. (one of the reason people bought a HDTV) The same with video games, most will only notice the HD games looks better but won't know because it's in HD.

As far as digital TV vs HD signal my wife already seen the difference without know anything about HD. The first thing she noticed was the huge difference in people faces. Also except for sport most programs are not running in HD yet. Then after I first got the HDTV my youngest son noticed SD look like crap compare to watching programs on a SD tube TV.

Upscaling DVD looks ok, better than "on-air" and games yet when watching a Blu-ray you can clearly see the difference in picture quality.


 To a degree, but not everyone can see a difference that they are willing to shell out the big bucks for, see the thing is, you are still trapped in that belief that people will abandon the Wii when they see HD, yet that is far from the truth, even running the Wii on an LCD they still love it, maybe in 5-7 years people might want Wii games to be in HD, but it won't make a difference for many more years to come
