Sky Render on 10 January 2009
Graphics quality never did determine the winner, really. The 2600 was graphically inferior to the Intellivision and Colecovision, the NES was graphically inferior to the Sega Master System, the SNES was graphically inferior to the many early CD-based consoles, the PS1 was graphically inferior to the N64, the PS2 was graphically inferior to the GameCube and XBOX... I'm really not sure where the myth came from that graphics were a deciding factor in success, actually. It's never been true, save in a very narrow viewpoint that excludes unsuccessful consoles (in which case the SNES was in fact graphically superior to all "competitors of note").
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
