PS3 is not only supposed to support HD but I've read that it will support DUAL HD screens, such that you could either have a panoramic view across two HD sets or you could have the gameplay on one set and additional game information on the other set sort of like how some of the Nintendo DS games work. And the Xbox 360 is mandating that all games for that platform support at least 720p HD resolution.

I dunno, it seems MS is the only one really running with the concept of a HD being integral to the console. And they did not 'win' the current generation. OTOH Nintendo did stick with the cartridge format for longer than was wise. “Otherwise we can probably count Nintendo out of the next gen hardware wars before they even begin.”
