Um, what?  Yes there is or it would look all blockly.  Look at a Wii on a 1080p TV, it's painful.

The Wii wasn't a quad-drupling of pixels, it looks worst than merely a blocky image.
You were upscaling 640x480 to 1280x720 or 1920x1080.

For 720P you were doubling the Horizontal Pixels, whilst vertical pixels increased by 50%. - You see the problem with that now, right? You are stretching square pixels into rectangles. - Regardless of how you try to upscale that, it will always look a little funkier than the quadrupling of pixels allowing for a perfect 1:1 scaling.

I don't think you are following me at all. 

The Wii isn't upscaled, that's the problem.  The image is just stretched. The TV can stop it from stretching with the correct settings.  It's the lack of good upscaling and anti aliasing which would fuzzy that 4 pixel block depending on what it's neighbors do.  It becomes more blury, but gives up the blocky. 

Maybe this image will help:



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!
