Don't be fooled by the 3D effect of the 3DS, the graphics ain't a vast upgrade over Nintendo 64 graphics. Sure a bit more lighting here, a tad more shadows there, a few more pixels, and rounded edges is basically what the 3DS has done to update Ocarina of Time. Not impressive once you get past the "ooh its 3D" group rubber necking bunk.
Now the NGP, that thing can pump out some graphics. Then again, graphics alone never sold a system, yet pricing a system to cover the hardware that enables those graphics can break a system.
