If you're planning on buying a 360, wait.

Less than 20%, last I checked 11% (but that was a while ago). And not a lot of those people play games--it's mostly older people who enjoy squandering the assloads of money they've amassed. And when you take into the account that the Wii's always been short stocked, I'm sure they'd have sold even more. HD matters...but not that much, especially when your system is barely more powerful than your previous one (which wasn't really meant for hd either).

Well, for one, the main reason I refuse to even consider buying a Wii is because it has no HD support.

Yes it does >.>

480p is HD, you won't see your average standard-def TV doing 480p.

Just say you're a graphics whore and get over it :p

I don't even know if the Wii can be compared to the 360, I consider the Wii more of a novelty than an actual console.

Wii does 480P

i'm debating on selling my 360 that i have now to knock some of the sting off of the 360 elite. i want one of those things badly.

edit: the wii is a great console; it is just different. but, different is good. i have still only see 3 wii's on the shelves of local stores; and i bought 1 the second time i saw one. the games are geared in a different direction, but i have my 360 for all the insane hd goodness that i crave. that being said, i feel that the wii has the ability to generate a lot of fun when you have people playing against you. it reminds me of the days of setting up xboxes on lans, only you're trying to play a game while not swatting the person next to you.

but, i still love my 360 more than the wii. i think they compliment each other nicely, though.

480p is SDTV.
nope.
2007-07-15, 5:03 PM #51
Like several people said, 480p is not HD. HD is defined to be 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
2007-07-15, 5:07 PM #52
If it's not HD then why is it only viewable on HD-capable TVs?

Okay, so technically it's "EDTV". But seeing as you need an HDTV to view it...
2007-07-15, 5:14 PM #53
Actually, there are EDTVs. They're usually capable up to 576p.

640x480 is not HD. And neither is the wide version of it. Seriously, 640x480?
2007-07-15, 6:21 PM #55
Yeah, thats called VGA.
