Wii at 480p, Yo

Ooops! The Wii, well, Official Nintendo Magazine was wrong. The publication recently ran this juicy quote: "At the time of going to print, Wii games will output in 720i and 720p - 720i is your standard TV picture." That would put it up there with the Xbox 360, which outputs at 720p. But! Nope. Not true, says game site Eurogamer who confirmed with Nintendo UK that the Wii outputs in 480p. Bummer. Brian Ashcraft

Only 480p [Eurogamer]
