If We Bother Nintendo Enough, Maybe HD Support?

unfortunatly that is a masssive over simplification of the problems Nintendo would face. A Pentium 800mhz processor may run at around 750 mark and the equivilent AMD processor would run around 600. AMD is usually the better processor, even with a slower cloack speed.

The same goes for ATI and Nvidia at the moment, a lot of Nvidias cards are slower but due to better drivers actually work better.

The GPU in the Xbox I believe was actually better than the one in the Wii, I think it could handle pixel shading and I know the Wii can't.

Yes all that is true. IF you are looking for graphic supremacy then, no doubt, the Xbox 360 has the upper hand.

I look for gameplay and fun therefore Nintendo win by a clear mile. I'll have the Nintendo then.

I have an HD tv (26 ") and component cables and Zelda looks great on it.
It's a supreme game anyway so the added graphical tweak is just a bonus.

No doubt as games start to come out over the next few years the capabilities of the system will be exploited.

you know the manofacturer of wii's procesor? and GPU? if you do you have to say that ibm and ati are better(at some point) than pentium and nvidia.but thats not the point.

the point here is that wiis procesor,gpu and memory are not cheap parts from an unknown manofacturer,you can believe the xbox parts are better only bercause all wii have now are GC ports.can you please provide a link where says xbox can handle pixel shading and wii dont?

720p/1080i on the wii....Imagine all the jaggies....

That would decrease the jaggies, not increase them...no?

Nintendo won't release a Wii version2 console or even an update for HD support and all those other fancy graphic options.
For them, this isn't an important issue since Nintendo believe that graphics don't make a game, it's all about gameplay.

The one thing i do find a shame is that they are going (or is already) released a Wii DVD console, capable of playing DVDS and the EURO and US market isn't getting it again at the same time. Bummer.
