in 2012, don't worry, it'll be 1080P cause attach rate of HDTV will be relevant for nintendo. It doesn't mean games will all be at that level. Nintendo likes the cartoony style, it doesn't requier as many resousrces and still looks great...

Wii 2 will have an improved wii mote (though very similar) but the change from wii will be mainly on the nuchuck.

Nintendo should not have made it so simple... as an extention, that is where they should have added features for core gamers (as more than 2 buttons...).

 

I think putting a mouse well on the Wimote would be a great idea. The only thing I want from the nunchuck is to not be attached to the Wiimote. The simplicity is part of the concept and there isn't much room to add more button anyway.

I would be most happy with jus 780p, 480p is just NOT DONE on a LCD TV. Sorry Ninty, despite your Wii is a fun console, but GFX are just outdated, period. If their next Wii will be in 480p as well, I'm not gonna buy it.

If you have a proper LCD and component cables, the Wii looks just as good on the LCD as on a CRT with native 480p display. I know because I compared a 32'' CRT with a 32'' LCD without a noticeable loss in image quality.

^Same here, besides given the living room I am going to live in for the near future, it's unlikely that I can buy any HDTV that's over 40 inch in size.

I want a graphic update for Wii 2 but not because of wanting the system to be more like PS3 and 360 but because that's the way it's always been and I would want a compelling reason to update and graphics always do play a part! 

 

 

Oh no, I agree with that, for the N6 I see 720p as being the standard, this was another discussion about an "upgrade" a la DSi to the current console. I was simply stating that additionning "more" to the current Wii without additionning at least one gaming related feature wasn't going to augment the demand for the system.

 

 

Er apologies about the misunderstanding.. my mistake! :)

 Usually it's games with weak graphics, which leaves lots of processing power left for high resolution (i.e. the same reason why the same PC runs older games at higher resolution than newer games).

Notable exceptions include at least Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which runs at 1080 lines but not really full 1080p, since it runs at 1280x1080, and is then upscaled to 1920x1080:

720p would be good since it finally would look good enough on HD TV.

The same can be argued with PC screens and the difference between 720p and 1080p. Its very noticeable on a 24'' monitor.

Plus, 65'' TVs are now affordable. Sharp has one on amazon.com right now for under $3,000. At that size 2160p would be noticeable.

Wait wat?

 

Either you are single with no one to be responsible for except yourself, you have no understanding of how much money that is, and/or you are crazy rich....

 

Not that many people can pay that much money these days....especially for tv's....

 

 

That's not a ton of money to save, problem is most people suck with saving money these days. Budget some money aside each month and get one down the road. You can get a 1080p DLP tv over 60 inches for under $2,000 now.

While $2,000 to $3,000 may not be that much money for people to save up it is still way too much money for the typical family to save up for the purchase of a TV ...

Most families would be considered to be living within their means if they only spent 75% to 80% of their take home income on the day-to-day costs associated with living their lives; the other 20% of their income would then be devoted towards larger (more unusual) purchases, entertainment expenses, emergency and retirement savings.

Now, if you live in a market which is well balanced between the ammount of money people earn and living expenses it is easy for people to live within their means, and there is some capacity for people to live below their means; and in an inexpensive market most people can live below their means, and some people will be able to live a very inexpensive life.

Unfortunately for most people, inflation has been poorly measured for quite awhile and living expenses in most communities has grown faster than people's wages so inexpensive markets are very rare and most people live in balanced or expensive areas. What this means is that, while people can find the money to buy a $3000 TV if they wanted to, there are very few people who value TVs enough to save up for a $3000 TV when there are $500 TVs which are bigger and better quality than any TV they have ever owned.

Why does the number $3,000 keep being brought up? I have said like 4 times you can get a tv for under $2,000. Here is a 60 inch 1080p DLP tv for $1,400. Not 3 grand like everyone seems to think the magical number is. If your family can't set aside $1,400 in a year then good luck saving for more expensive things in life.
