Microsoft is debating with sony over who started the HD era...but have EITHER of them looked at a genesis in the last few years?

Neither of them seemed to notice that the Genesis (Model 1 at least) sported...

"HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS"!

Could it be possible that Micro$oft and $ony SKIPPED 1988?

Damn, I must be really bored to post this.

Discuss!

how can that be possible if it's max resolution is 320 x 224 and HDTV hadn't been invented in 1988?

I know, but the point is Sony and MS say their starting the HD era, when the Genesis 1 "had" it, and the PS2/XB1/GC had it in some sorts?

Gamcecube started it: I think there are a couple games that support 720p

I don't really care that much for HD because it may be becasue I look at a 32" CRT Toshibe TV made in 1990 a lot or I can't see the clarity in HD.

it is just an excuse to make TVs more expensive

actually HDTVs are really good. my cousin has one and watching stuff on it is so much better than my TV, the image is a zillion times more clear and it's really nice. plus it's not making TVs more expensive, it's making normal TVs less expensive

True HD depends on the size of the screen actually like pdas are hd and the are 320,320 or at least the zire 72

That's the genesis model I have too; I laugh at that everytime I play it.

My Genesis has composite, and HDTV is a way of coughing up money, picture quality is perfect with RGB/SCART so there's no need for this cra, I only watch Sky, so I get a nice TV Picture anyway

Problem is, they don't have RGB or SCART here for the most part.

@SpongeBuell

Yes, sadly this is true, but it is becoming a little more common. I was able to get a 32" SANYO with RGB for about $135 + tax at walmart when it was came time to uprage (I got an XBOX and decided KOTORII would be a lot more fun if I could actualy read the text

). but then I had to cough up $20 for the fancy cable

.

EDIT: Oh wait it's just component Gah........ I still had to pay for the new cable
