720p is 3 times as many pixels as 480p, 1080p is only double 720p.

ONLY if you compare 480p in 4:3 (640x480) to 720p 16:9 (1280x720) it is a factor of 3.

• 852x480 (16:9) = 409 kPixel
• 1280x720 (16:9) = 922 kPixel (factor 2.25)
• 1920x1080 (16:9) = 2074 kPixel (factor 2.25)

So it is the same factor going from 480p to 720p and going from 720p to 1080p

Except the Wii didn't render at 480x853, it rendered at 480x640.
