480P does not look like crap on an HDTV. I have an 8 foot wide image from an HD projector that will kick your little HDTV's ass, and Wii games like SMG, MP3, SSBB, and even MKWii look very good on it. And don't tell me I don't have an eye for this kind of thing. I spent a few years setting up and tweaking high end home theater systems, so I know the difference. Granted, HD systems look better, but that does not mean the Wii automatically looks bad.
480P from a DVD looks bad on a screen that big because the video signal is compressed to fit on the DVD, removing fidelity color, and clarity from the image. The 480P signal from the Wii comes straight off the graphics processor, so it is not compressed like a DVD. Because of this, the 480P image from the Wii looks great compared to a standard DVD. The Wii looks even better if you run it through a good scaler first to upscale the image to 1080P.
