For example I might be of the opinion that from a specs perspective the Wii is a last gen console. Others may not agree as the console is selling within this generation (just like the PS2 though).

You can try to hide behind calling it an opinion. Like saying "IMO most people have hands with 6 fingers". Or, "IMO France is owned by Poland". Of course thats plainly not true. Just like saying that there is a real HD vs not real/fake HD. Unfortunately thats plainly not the case either.

You can continue to play games like that, sure. Of course if everyone did that there would hardly be a point in anyone communicating with anyone else at all.

Tolerance for other people's opinion is IMO a virtue, hence the reason why I included that Uncharted quote. .

Ah yes, quite the message of tolerance:

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No one is entitled to their own facts.

Stating the 360 is not an HD console because it didn't have a standard HD connector is making up your own facts. HD is based on resolution not connection. 360 is capable of HD resolutions. And sets be them HD via DVI or HDMI can do HD via component. The later also being a HD connection.

So yes your statement was a lie, as it was untruthful. Perhaps what you mean here is a difference between a conscious lie and one from ignorance. Either way it's still a lie and the person is still lying.

To a point. I agree people should be open-minded. Accepting lies or crazy statments is itself craziness. People should not be open-minded to the point where their brains fall out.
