Do you seriously think Nintendo will go back down the GFX = PWNAGE!!!!11 path next gen? I think you might have no clue my friend, it will be powerful graphically but nobody can claim that they no what will happen yet, this IS Nintendo we are talking about here at least. |
More than likely Nintendo will go with a system capable of much better graphics next gen. They passed on it this gen because the costs are quite high and the number of people who utilize the PS3 and 360 graphics without upgrading other hardware (TVs) are still quite low. By the next generation, the HD market will be much larger so continuing with subpar graphics will likely not work. In 6-7 years, I'd expect a Wii with similar graphics to the current 360 & PS3 with even better waggle controls around a $300 price. MS and Sony will probably surpass those graphics, but I believe the "last gen" graphics will be perfectly fine for the majority of casual gamers, just like currently the last gen graphics thus far are acceptable by many.
To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
