And thank god it's limited to 49.99 at most... it would hurt my ass (if I had a Wii) to buy a game that isn't even able to outdo PS2 graphics (generally) for more than that, when X360/PS3's game are available for 59.99 sometimes... |
Har-dee-dar, nice stealth troll. Considering that there are games on the Wii that are just as enjoyable AND highly rated AND popular (albeit less pretty), you are either a blind fanboy, a graphics whore or a flame-baiter.
Well, consider this, Mr. Troll, nature abhors a vacuum, and none so much as human nature. Upon the release of next generation of systems, if Sony and MS push graphics fidelity even half as much as they did with the jump to this gen, then companies will (eventually) be obligated to push those new boundaries... and that takes money. LOTS OF MONEY. Lot's of money for shiny graphics to appease the trolls - hiding under their little troll bridges.
Then imagine that Nintendo cames along and releases their new system that is lower cost, and has DX10 class (not even 11) hardware that is only slightly more powerful than the PS360, but WITH MORE RAM to alleviate the biggest problem of PS360 - ability to push TrueHD with such limited memory.
In this scenario, companies spend LOTS OF MONEY on shiny graphics for the trolls on the other systems (and charge prices to match). On the other hand, Nintendo would be able to deliver HD graphics (albeit lesser, but great nonetheless - look at GT5 or GoW3) and charge $50-60 for games rather than $80-100.
Short answer: Nintendo wins....... again.
EDIT: I might also add that I find your comment about Nintendo "hurting your @$$" both ironic and humourous considering the picture you have in your sig.
