Untill I red this I was already sold on the Revolution. My plan was to definatley pick up a Revolution and then decide between the PS3 or the Xbox 360 as a secondary system, since those two are really becoming the same system (almost any game you find on one can be found on the other, and if not then something almost identical (Gran Turismo/Forza)).
But notice I said 'untill I read this'.
To many people HDTV support isn't that a big deal, and will write off those of us who do consider it to be a big deal as simply being too engrossed in graphics. Most likley those are people who don't own HDTVs (heh). I replaced my 27" SDTV about 6 months ago with a 53" HDTV, and the very first thing I did was hook my Gamecube and PS2 up to it, dying to see what Gran Turismo and Metroid would look like on my new large widescreen HDTV.
I couldn't have been more dissapointed.
Even using component cables every game I tried simply looked like ass. Blurry textures, jaggies, and shimmering - I never realized how flawed this generation of games was graphicly untill seeing it on a larger television. I've since purchased a smaller 27" SDTV to simply play my games on because playing them on my larger television was no longer an option (during long sessions I'd start to get killer headaches trying to focus on the blurry shimering messes that my games had become). It breaks my heart to say I won't be purchasing a revolution if this news is true, but 640x480 just isn't really an option for me anymore.
I love Nintendo, why won't Nintendo love me back?
