Honest to god the 3DS isn't anywhere near an impressive piece of equipment. You will never have games that will likely go above PSP graphics or performance because of the fact that nintendo made 3D a mandatory implimentation to the system that isn't even twice as powerful as the PSP was. So if I were you guys I would focus on the games because the 3DS isn't capable of all too much considering metal gear ran 20fps compared to the more smoother 30fps on the PS2.


Lost all credibility when you essentially said that the 3DS can't go above the PSP level.  It already has a long time ago.

Tell me just ONE game on PSP that have better graphics than RE: Revelations or KH DDD. Only ONE please

Pretty sure the Monster Hunter games on 3DS have the PSP entries beat.

The PSP wish it could do graphics like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVez2CVnMc

Besides Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 3D has way more better graphics then anything the GameCube & PS2 & PSP can do, and it was 60 fps with the 3D ON, it just had lags on firmware 1.0.0-0, but a simple firmware update takes care of that.

The PSP CPU went from 222 MHz to 333 MHz (max clock) with Firmware updates. The 3DS CPU is multi-core 1 GHz that can't be underclock any lower then 350 MHz a core. Plus the PICA200 is a series, not 1 GPU. The PICA200 has 2006 & 2008 & 2010 & 2012 models, and the 2008 model has a vertex performence of 40.7 million polygons @ 100 MHz, and the 3DS GPU is clocked @ 400 MHz. The 2006 model only does 15.3 million @ 200 MHz. The 2010 model is obviously more better in vertex performence then the 2008 & 2006 model.

The PSP wishes it could do graphics like Cave Story 3D & Star Fox 3D & Kid Icarus: Uprising & Donkey Kong 3D & Nano Assault EX & Sonic Generations 3DS & Jett Rocket 2 & Pokédex 3D Pro & so fort

RE: Revelations has bad draw distance and enemies with an awful framerate to boot. KH DDD isn't an improvement compared to the others.

Monster hunter looks awful on the 3DS as well as the PSP and the 3DS shows no noticeable improvement in graphics.

I guess you've been playing the wrong RE Revelations. When a launch game like SSFIV 3D surpasses the best of PSP's graphics by a large margin, I fail to see how it isn't likely for the system to perform much better than an old 2004 portable machine.

Monster Hunter looks far cleaner on 3DS.
