You dont have HD do you? I assure you. Split screen dont hurt what you see on HD. :)
It's more than just a resolution problem ...
When you add a viewport you save a little on scene-graph management but it ends up (over-all) taking much more memory, CPU and GPU processing power. I'm not too sure the PS3/XBox 360 has the processing power to handle much of a game with 16 viewports that are active.
The other problem is screen real-estate. If you have a 32 inch TV you will have (approximately) 16 8-inch screens to use for split-screen multiplayer; on a TV that size (and with that many people in the room) everyone is probably going to be 8-10 feet away from their screen. There is just too little screen to see what is happening.
My point is. The PS3 can do split screen 10x better than the Wii. You just said power matters. You handed it to the PS3. :)
