Huh? See a source for that? I have exhibit A, the XBox 360.

Since when is the 360 a web link? Show a SOURCE, tough guy.

Are you telling me you don't know the XBox 360 upscales? Hell, even my TI-83 calculator can upscale. Mac OS X's resolution independent UI stuff is upscaling in action.



But, if you really need a weblink to something so standardly done:

There you go off on some bullshit again.

Show me ANY source that says the Nintendo wii can or will support anything higher than 480p. Not the Xbox, not the PS2, I want anything that says the Wii can do it.

No not your opinion or guesses, I want any nintendo comment that backs up your crap.

The Wii is a computer. Computers are capable of this. Do you believe there is something fundamentally special about the Wii that would render it completely incapable of this even if Nintendo were to release a special version that explicitly supported it?

Source, anything. Cuz nintendo rarely upgrades it home systems.

the SNES had that port on the bottom for future CD-ROM upgrade. Never happened.

The N64 had that port on the bottom for the DD (zip disk) drive to make up for the small storage and non-writability of the N64 Carts. Never happened in the US and it sucked in Japan.

The GameCube had that port on the bottom for network connection. Nintendo released it with "nobody wants to play games online". Nobody bought it.

The only time they upgraded something was the RAM to update the merger 2MB the N64 had years later. It shipped with a game but was notorious for overheating and crashing systems so people mostly ran it with the lid off.

I won't even get into how they upgrade the GameBoys.

If you were hoping for Mario 128... it is pretty much Mario Galaxies which doesn't look terribly new.

Instead, I'd like you to go back and read what I actually said. Once you read what I actually said, come back and say something intelligent. Then maybe I'll give you a decent reply.

If you bothered to actually read what I said, I said there wouldn't be anything preventing Nintendo from releasing a backwards compatible Wii down the road. If Nintendo is wrong and HD catches on they could easily release a standard Wii for something like $150 (I'm just making up prices), and a Wii HD for $250.

Nintendo launch of the Wii without HD support does not mean Nintendo won't be supporting HD for the Wii's lifespan, like you suggest.

Nice way to run and hide again.

Simple question... to your comment of:
"The Wii can be upgraded to HD later and all games can be upscaled, XBox 360 style. For now, it's not necessary."

Question 1.
Are you saying the NEXT Nintendo product say Wii Wii 2 will be able to play old Wii titles and up scale them? So what.. 5 years from now?

Question 2.
Are you saying they will come out with a Wii version 2 that supports high def and will upscale old games?

Comment: Upscaling doesn't look half as good as Native 720p and 1080i.

Read above.

Upscaling works fine, and for games, unlike DVD's, you would be running the game at Native 720p or 1080i. Upscaling games is completely different than upscaling DVD's.

Oh right I forgot how nintendo loves to sell people the same hardware 2 or 3 times.

Remember how it took some breakthrough in computer sciences to put a backlight in the GBA that was only realized 1 year after they came out with it..so they sold you a new one for the same price. Somehow. they also made it half the size.

Or the Nintendo DS. "It is cheaper than the PSP, you pay $150 now and $150 a year and a half from now when we put a adjustable backlight in it and realize it is clunky so we just copy an iBook."

Or how about the, Game Boy, Play it Loud Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Advance SP (with brighter backlight), Game Boy Micro.

These all came out some scarily close to one another with the average of every year.

I'd rather buy my hardware done right the first time thank you and not pay for nintendo's laziness or heck, smart way of marketing. Sell them the same thing 3 times and brag about how many of them there are out there....

BTW even Nintendo fanboys were smart enough not to touch the Micro which is selling horribly.

You're not buying a Wii anyway. Why do you care? If they come out with an HD one you can shut up and buy one. Jees... I've never seen someone whine so much about product upgrades. Most people in the world actually like product upgrades.

Look how well Sony's strategy of not upgrading the PSP is working against the DS lite.

Actually I have a DS and said I am getting a Wii just to get rid of the cube.

But way to avoid the question again.

The PSP is selling great? Once again what are you talking about?

And the best part is that you still spend less than you would buying a single Sony system.

No actually you don't if you do the math.
