Will there be a system next-gen that could TOP PS3's graphics?

This is an awful thread.

The next-gen platforms from Sony and MS will go way beyond what the PS3/360 can do visually. Way beyond. Please tell me you don't think things look so good now that there's nowhere to go... The designs for the next consoles are already well underway in terms of planning and what not. They won't be going backwards or standing still in terms of tech. Well, atleast not Sony or Microsoft.

It'll be a miracle if the next Nintendo system even reaches PS3 level graphics. God knows that Nintendo will not even try to keep up with the tech curve. I wouldn't be surprised to see their next console be only slightly more powerful that what the Wii is now. When it should atleast be about 1.5x the power of the PS3. Cost wise, they should be able to make system slightly more powerful than PS3, at $250 retail, and still make a profit in 3-4 years when it comes time for a new machine.

With all the money Nintendo has made and will make this gen, they sure as hell better step it up for the next machine in terms of tech.

 No no no. The Wii 2 will be alot better than the Wii in graphics i'm positive. The thing is, with a concept like Wii (and DS as well) they had to use less expensive technology with the innovation they had. They knew that if the new controls didn't do good on the system, they had to make sure that they didn't take as big of a loss as they would if they used $400-600 technology. Now that the Wii and DS are selling extraordinarily well, the Wii 2 and DS 2 will have much better technology than the surrent Wii and DS.

 I would expect the Wii 2 to have graphics somewhere between the 360 and the PS3, or 360 standards at the least. The DS would have around the Gamecube graphics, maybe even better. I'm going to be alot more excited for the Next Gen than this current Gen, especially if Nintendo "wins".  But you have the right idea, no company is going to move backwards, they all are moving forward.
