People think that the 3DS will be powerful enough to render 2 viewpoints (needed for 3D content), at resolutions higher than most Wii games, and drive another screen that we haven't taken into account? This, from Nintendo? I mean, really? Really? I will be absolutely floored if this is what Nintendo is planning on using in their new handheld. |
Before this generation, Nintendo has always producted powerful and innovative hardware, and Sony has produced relatively weak and flawed gaming hardware. How quickly our perceptions can change. Did you know that the PS2 was graphically, the weakest console last generation?
No company has an advantage on how powerful their hardware can be. The PSP isn't advanced graphically due to proprietary technology, it's advanced graphically by dumping more money into each unit, and passing that bill onto the consumer. The question is, who can strike the perfect balance between affordibility to the consumer, accessibility to the developer, profit, and performance. I'll give you a hint. It's Nintendo this generation.
It'll probably be Nintendo next generation too. If Sony backed down from their "high-end graphics" stigma they've been labled with this generation, and produced a relatively weak machine with a great price that relied on exclusives, they would lose yet another advantage over the ever strengthening competition. Microsoft will always have a powerful machine. Powerful machines are popular in America, and MS isn't really out to win anything. They're just out to make sure Sony loses.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
