The Revolution is the only of the three next-gen consoles that will not
offer any sort of high definition playback, either for games or video.
Considering that they also removed the component video output capability
from late models of the Gamecube, Nintendo has simply given up
attempting to market towards adult consumers and is only interested in
producing a low-rent product for the kiddies.
