Umm I wasn't talking about Nintendo having charts I was talking about the competition.  Why would Nintendo have a chart that shows how weak their system is power-wise compared to the competition.  People who don't know what's under the hood do understand numbers and would know from reading that chart which system was a lot more powerful.  Microsoft or Sony could also show screenshot comparisons of multi-platform games (Call of Duty 3 looks shockingly horrible on the Wii compared to the Xbox 360/PS3) but of course they can't come out and do that because they would likely piss off 3rd parties who make multi-platform games.

You're right, Nintendo wouldn't show charts showing how weak their system is. That's why they show people playing the system instead, rather than throwing numbers around. Those charts are for those who really know what those numbers mean. Do you think a mom comes into GameStop and looks at that chart and says to herself "Damn, the 360 is so much more powerful?" No they go in there and look at the price first. Maybe ask a sales rep for advice. Then will probably go for the least expensive choice. Like I said, numbers go right over most people's heads. It's cool that you give the customer a lot of credit. However, most of them don't have a clue.

 I asked my friend what her phone could do. She didn't bust out a chart. She said "I don't know...it makes calls...and it's pink."
