New Consoles Won't Sell More HDTVs

This is just more big business hype. Why? because I know that my four year old PS2 does HD. Take a look at the specs on Gran Turismo 4, Burnout 3: Takedown and God of War. GT4 runs at 1080i HD with Dolby Pro Logic 6.1 sound. Burnout 3 and God of War are both 720p. All three of these games runs in 16:9 widescreen.

The annoouncement that the new game consoles will spur HDTV sales is just more empty hype from the big companies looking for a reason that people should upgrade to the new systems.

Out of all the people I know, I am the only person that has an widescreen HDTV. Everybody loves it and think it's great, but they don't feel the need to upgrade to HD. Everyone boasts about how good movies and games look on my TV, but they aren't planning on getting one for watching movies let alone a new game console and we are all gamers and movie buffs.

Revolution not supporting HDTV?

"Only Nintendo's entry, code-named Revolution, will not cater to HDTVs."
Where did this come from? I'm confident I've seen there will be support HDTV in Revolution. Even the Gamecube had HDTV support.
