While Microsoft and Sony have pledged big support for high-definition television with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, Nintendo have officially stated it won't be a feature of the Revolution.The main reason cited by Nintendo USA's Perrin Kaplan was that HD support at this time would drive up the price of games, while she also questioned whether it would improve games to have the feature:
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.
