If the HD support you are talking about is nothing more than the slight differences seen in the comparisons of Super Mario 64 or Kingdom Hearts 2, what's the point of it?
I imagine you've played PC games long enough to have been dealing with resolution differences since before HDTV/SDTV was ever an issue. Those early 3D games looked like junk compared to what we've got now, but did you keep the resolution at 640x480 because it didn't make enough of a difference with the low poly counts and shallow textures? Of course not - you cranked it up as high as it could go, and it made it look like a whole new game. For that matter, why does anyone buy an HDTV at all? The difference in quality between an SD and HD broadcast is identical to the difference I'm saying the Wii should have, and everybody there agrees it's worthwhile.
Maybe you're just one of those people who isn't impressed by HD. But if you ask me, the higher resolution of PS3 and 360 is at least as much responsible for their improvement over past systems as their higher poly counts, better textures, and improved effects.
