Nintendo Eagerly Embraces the Next Generation of Technology!

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, HDTVs don't match computer monitors in resolution, etc. They can't replace them. As for the other way around... there are issues -- older games actually can look worse because they are sharper and don't have the TV's built-in fuzziness, for instance... :) -- but they are less.

Now, does this affect me? No. I don't have an HDTV and won't anytime soon. But this kind of thing really annoys the people who do care, so it's just not smart for Nintendo to do things like this. It's NOT the way you gain market share, that's for sure... they sure seem to want to deny it, but hardcore gamers are a huge part of the gaming market... and as for softcore gamers, they go where the games are, and the games aren't on the console with the smallest userbase. I don't know what they are doing, but it sure isn't "trying to win"... even if I personally don't care if the Revolution supports HDTVs natively or not.

As for computer monitors though, hasn't Nintendo said something in the past about supporting them? I'm not sure about that, but maybe...
