This whole argument is taking place in some other thread already, but saying people shouldn't care about graphic quality in a forum where almost everyone has a S-Video/Component modded AES or loves RGB monitors is simply laughable.

Nintendo tactics.
part 1:
less is more.
they did this with the DS and it payed off. coming clean is the new formula to winning people over. it contrasts directly with Sony's and MS' tactic of hype.
Nintendo hype through inuendo (calling the system Revolution etc.) rather than popping out figures. people are badly bloated with the amounts of figures thrown about for the last few years. it wasn't so much about that in the past.
Nintendo know this. they have their cool shades on. they say less is more, enjoy the ride, whilst the other companies are telling you, take the red pill and fucking spazz out to our technotrip.
and it works. and it will work. I'm not sold on the downloading games feature. but I am on the attitude.
Nintendo will be just fine. I wish I where saying this about Sega but oh well. atleast one old school company is still fighting.

We know something - it won't display games in HD.
Compare this to how the Xbox360 will display on 720p and the PlayStation3 on 1080p and you can already assume it won't compete from a technical standpoint. Even Nintendo has made it clear that they aren't going to deliver the most powerful system.

It "works", but sounds more like a survival tactic than anything else. They can't aim to have the first place, and they know it.
Fighting against giants like Sony and Microsoft must be a really hard task.

well its all about survival isn't it? atleast for a 'small' company such as Nintendo anyway. they are making it on pure fandrive and Nintendo attitude.
they're doing a great job keeping the PSP at bay aren't they? that thing is beautiful, but I'm already thinking about selling mine.

Oh I will be all over the ps3. I'm very excited to see what it can do and to play games in high definition, but I won't rule out the revolution. If they can get the third parties to jump on board and if they can continue to pump out their own good games then they'll be alright.

I am also one of the members without HD. To me it's not a huge deal. I've got component and that looks nice as it is. Once HD becomes cheaper, I'll pick one up, but Contra on my top loading Nintendo goes through the coax line and it's still sweet.

I will wait and see.
I don't belive anything Sony Says. They have been proven to be hypeo Liars.
Afterall, Sony is just about the only company in the last 8 years to make a system that didn't support High rez on the majority of games.

I gotta be honest, there's no reason a system with LESSER capabilities can't be HD compatible. This doesn't do jack shit for dev time, and honestly the extra port for an expensive HDTV add on for the system is about 50 cents for them to add (more important than that second Gamecube memory slot port on it)
But...they have a year to change their mind...

The games still have to be done in a minimum of 640x480.
If I can VGA it (Read: High Rez RGB), Then I will be happy.
