On the other hand, i also had a PS3, and i love it also, but the lack of good games, or that the sequels I waited so much for, and hence, bought the console for, aren’t appealing to me as much as I wanted. Also, playing the PS3 on a 21″ SDTV kill most of the text. We can see that most PS3/360 developers hadn’t gave a though about people who can’t afford the TV or don’t want to upgrade just yet to a HDTV and they don’t optimize the text for those resolution, making the text al blurry and hard to read, while on the Wii, you can read most of the text perfectly.

Still, i’m getting a 32″ HDTV LCD soon, just waiting for a loan to be repaid and then i’m getting one, still, the lack of consideration on the side of the developers is quite heartbreaking.

I had a friend who though that the graphics at Home were groundbreaking. I saw em on my SDTV, and on a 42″ HDTV with HDMI at a friend house, and I still can’t get to see those ground breaking graphics he’s talking about, i just see the average PS3 power being used over there

Then I got HDTV, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted transformed itself in HD. My jaw dropped.

Yeah, I own a Wii as well along with a 360. My Wii is on my HD TV as well. Maybe I too bought it for “variety” and all that. When I purchased the Wii, I didn’t care about HD graphics so it wasn’t a big deal that it was 480p.

Does that change anything? No, not really. And, believe it or not “you” wasn’t speaking directly to you. It’s talking about the majority of Wii gamers, the average joe, the bigger pool of Wii owners.

The world doesn’t revolve around you. Believe it or not, I didn’t write the article about you directly. I wrote it about the obvious trend in the industry which goes against what most folks would think, that high definition graphics in gaming are all that matters. They’re not, and the Wii provides some proof to that (and so does the fact that less than half the US has high definition to begin with).

It will all catch on eventually. Black & White TV’s existed for a long time after color was in production. TV’s aren’t investments people buy every two to four years like a PC or other gadget.

Who are you to tell me what I care about? You think playing on the Wii means that somehow I’ve compromised my gaming cred and thrown a desire for quality graphics out the window?

Maybe I like a little variety in my life. Or maybe some support from veteran gamers will spur developers to follow in Sega’s footsteps and put some decent content on the little white box.

I own and play all three systems, along with several generations of other systems. And I don’t agree that ‘gamers’ need HD graphics to enjoy a good game.
