What an asinine reaction. HD will be, essentially, the norm by the time the next Nintendo system launches 4-7 years from now. He's not saying, OMG SUDDENLY I CARE ABOUT HD WHEN I, AS A NINTENDO GAMER, TOTALLY DISMISSED IT BEFORE. His prediction is that the next system will be HD-enabled, and since everything is moving into HD, it's logical that the next Nintendo console will also move in that direction. Honestly, that post had much more ridiculous points. What a thing to focus on...

I think his point was more along the lines of that HD is not an essential game element.  A game will not cease to be fun or exciting or anything if it's not in HD (if it does the game has bigger problems). 

It's like getting pickles on your hamburger.  Some people must absolutely have their pickles but most people could take them or leave them knowing the hamburger itself will probably still be good without them.  There are even a few (crazy) people who don't like pickles at all.

Likewise, HD is inessential at this point.  It's nice to have, but games won't suddenly stop being fun without it. 

Oh man, I hate pickles so much. Nasty, nasty stuff.
