The Revolution Will Not Be HD

Gamecube Advanced has the news that the Revolution will not support HD signals. From the article: "Nintendo doesn't plan for the system to be HD compatible as with that comes a higher price for both the consumer and also the developer creating the game. Will it make the game better to play? With the technology being built into the Revolution, we believe the games will look brilliant and play brilliantly. This can all be done without HD." Sony and Microsoft are hanging the moon on the HD phenomenon, with both consoles supporting at least 720p or 1080i. Press the Buttons has commentary on the announcement.

They're aiming at prices -- that's what count.

If this is true Nintendo has gone and shot itself in the foot. Not having HD support means that the games on display in stores will look like crap next to the HD displays of Sony and M$ games. They should at least aim for 1080i.

I couldnt care less, HDTV is barely supported over here so theres no differance to me. The fact they're looking to keep price low is much better news.

Only yanks with big HDTV's will care about this news, in other words - no one important cares.
