Eh... no, I wouldn't buy it.

Also, the hypothetical dongle would be unnecessary, seeing that Nintendo could (possibly) unlock 720p with a simple firmware upgrade.

I was under the impression that the wii's inability to output above 480p was in part because of its connection. Meaning while it may in theory be able to render in 720p it is still unable to output it. By the way even if Nintendo managed to get the wii to output 720p how many frames per second could it run at??


1.- Component can carry 720p.

2.- Seeing that games with very complex graphics like Mario Galaxy run at 60fps without slowdowns, I see games with that level of graphics running at least at 30fps in 720p.


 from what i've read the electronics responsible for outputing the video signal can only output 480p max, this was the same case with the gamecube. So just because the wii can use component cables does not mean it can actually output 720p, it just means it can output 480p for a cleaner image rather than in 480i on composite cables.
