@colh Ok, seems like my HD prediction might be the first to fall, but I don't give up on it just yet. I didn't realize people buy that many TVs at all per year (at least in the US). I always had the impression in my environment that people keep their TVs for 10 years or more, until they fall apart. Either way, the Wii does run in 16:9 480p, which looks good on any HDTV. EDIT:
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
