A letter written to Nintendo:
Their response:
Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,
And, thanks for taking the time to point out what appears to be two contradictory statements. First, it is true that we currently do not plan to support High Definition games for our next generation system, Revolution. Nintendo's focus is not on technology for technology sake. At Nintendo we feel that the key is not how many pixels, polygons or technical acronyms you have, but what you do with them. On the other hand, some games on today's generation of consoles, like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, look great because they are carefully optimized to take advantage of everything today's systems can offer through a standard TV. While it is true games in high definition will be better looking than the same game on standard resolution, this does not mean that high-def games will always look better than standard resolution games.
Nintendo's focus with the Revolution is to create a gaming system that is compact in size with new types of interfaces for controlling games, has fast start-up times, is affordable for everyone, entices new developers with the ease of developing outstanding games, and offers innovative "All-Access Gaming.
Nintendo's All-Access Gaming philosophy covers the spectrum. The next console fits anywhere. It brings together new games and old. It gives people worldwide access through wireless Wi-Fi connections. And it opens the world of video games - to everyone. Software for the new console will even attract people who don't consider themselves players. Adults, kids, men and women around the world will have access to the most popular video game characters, the best game franchises and the most engaging experiences yet developed - only with Nintendo.
We are confident that gamers and non-gamers alike will support our focus on fun and innovation, and we hope you will, too. Once you have a chance to play games on the Revolution, we think you will!

The only way I'll let nintendo off the hook is if they have 3d or goggles and that is why they arent' doing hidef. otherwise it's ass kicking time!
