No. I think is Nintendo's focus what makes the Wii to lose respect. Wii Sports in HD would still be considered a casual title, as well as every other game, labeling the Wii as so.

But is it only about Nintendo's focus only? There are third parties out there. Here's a summary of how I'm looking at this topic: If the Wii were an HD console on top of what it is right now - the shunned casual console :roll: - then wouldn't you think the Wii would get the big name third party titles the other guys do? The Wii would have GTA4, CoD, Orange Box, RE5, etc etc. And this is what would make the nay-sayers "have respect" for the powerful console. If the Wii had HD, it would have Nintendo's casual focus on top of the "hardcore" titles nay-sayers are looking for. At least I think so. :P

This! This is what I want!:p

Nintendo's innovation mixed with third-party greatness.. Such a hassle to buy a second console to play all of this gens great multiplats, would be nice if my console was able to house them:P

If the Wii had better graphics and more games that appeal to older gamers it would sell more but I am happy with how the Wii is now.

actually no , there will always be haters,

hd or not, and wii does 420p , ,

still dont get respect ,

you think 720 p is bette,r lol

its smaller , that i know for a fact the words are smaller as you go up so really ,

it dont matter

as far as graphics go there isnt nothing wrong with ps2 xbox or gc these consoles needed more time lol

if they can make wii games more powerful in the future as some developers pointed out , im pretty much sure the need for 360 wasnt that big

con sidering burnout revnege looked 2x as good as any xbox360 game ,

in the same genre

and thats a fact

you can whimne all you like as long as wii is out ,

its still gonna have a library of games that over do ps3 and 360 any day the collector would pick wii and a hd console of their choice if ther smart ,

like nintendo said 3 console aimed at 1 market = road to nowhere tbanks to so and so ,

just look the history proved that the least powerful console with the most games line up won , not the one with the best line up or best hardware-as proven in the n64 and gc eras ,

clearly n64 had the better overall library , ,

over the ps1 , ,

clearly ps1 out sold it

so did ps2 out sell gc and xbox

and wii is gonna continue that trend ,

because they not only brought somthing new to gaming -well sort of thet did it before but still

they also chose the least expensive route and what a perfect timing because were in a recession ,

and the one who does not have the cheapest console will lose

that is the truth

600-500 plus a recession= no

249 plus a recession is more likely gonna get bought

as it doesnt eat a wallet

and its cheaper on the developers look at activision good example

or better yet

look whos fallen victim to hte expensive costs-

free radical and you know how good they were

midway -

um factor 5

3d realms

list of good developers all wiped out due to the cost of developing for the hd consoles ,

and it will continue

just you watch , ,

Yes, I know MANY people who only hate the Wii because of the graphics. It's like this:
me: *says something about the Wii*
person: Ah, the Wii? The PS3 is much better, it has awesome graphics.

Another common complaint are the "kiddy" games. But better graphics would certainly make Nintendo have more respect from some people.

Older gamers? Isn't the Wii considered the console for the elderly already? ;)

Of course it would. The reason Wii doesn't get respect is because it's deprived of all the blockbuster PS3/360 games. If it was as powerful as the other consoles then all those games would appear on Wii as well and we wouldn't hear, "Wii is nothing but casual games, lol." It would also mean a lot less shovelware because publishers wouldn't be able to crap out turds at such a the rate they do now due of the Wii's cheap dev costs.

Now, if by "HD" you just mean High Defention resolution, then no. Simply outputing in HD would've made little difference.

Yes. If the Wii was as powerful as the PS3 and 360, it wouldn't be the bud of as many System War jokes.

HD =/= More power.

This is true, but he's assuming the TC means equivalent in power to the other consoles when he says "HD."
