imo there wasn't as large a disparity ( from what i experienced ) between the ps1 and n64 or the ps2 and the gamecube as there has been between the wii and ps3 in terms of visuals... so i'm not sure i agree with this point "didn't they suddenly care about power when the PS3 was relatively powerful?" but i do agree with this point "Didn't they look down on the Wii" but regardless, i've generally only seen nintendo fans insult others by calling them stuff like "graphics whores" and push the argument that power, graphics etc don''t matter and i'm just making the point that for me its ironic what i'm seeing now |
I think the fallacy in your argument is that you define the group "Nintendo fans" as a homogenous group of people with the same opinion.
There are tons of Nintendo fans who don't care much for polygon counts and texture resolutions, and there are tons of Nintendo fans who do care about these things. The people that called others "graphics whores" are not necessarily the same people that are hoping that the Wii-U will be a graphical powerhouse. There is also undeniably a large group of Nintendo fans who think the big focus on graphics early this generation was detrimental to the gaming industry but still hopes the Wii-U to be a little step up from this generation's graphics.
