HappySqurriel said: I suspect that everyone (including Carmack and Rien) will agree that the days where you needed greater performance in order to produce better games are comming to an end ... Now, both the PS3 and the Wii will probably sell better than most consoles have through out the history of the industry and in the end represent valid strategies at this point in time ... The strategy of the Wii is that processing power is not currently the main limiting point in producing high quality videogames at the moment the input device is, and the strategy with the PS3 is that processing power is still the main limiting point ...

We are going to disagree on this point repeatedly lol. I really think it is a choice for devs. More power is not limiting. How can it be? If your focus is to make a game that is ultra stylized that can doesn't take much to run how can you lose if the system you dev for has the ability to run it. Alacrist, I purchased the game because it was fun as well. And I really wouldn't have cared if it was cell shaded but it isn't and it is icing on the cake. If there were two versions of the game one with cell shaded and one with the graphics it has now, I would go for the one with better graphics. I am pretty sure most people would.
