Is Nintendo always going to be behind Microsoft and Sony in graphics?

Lol @ "possibly on par with PS360" You are basing that off - I can only assume - the tech demoes shown at E3 with a year before the release of the console, comparing them to the best graphics produced on the PS3 to date.

 

Perfect Dark 0, a fairly well respected launch title for the 360.

 

And a tech demo. Inevitably, the final game will be much more polished

 

Is this really going to happen? It's like the xbox is more powerful than Wii bullshit again, except even more preposterous this time

PS3 had tech demos in 2005 that still look better than anything on the console, or so I heard from another topic, so don't latch onto that Zelda video too tight for proof.

That's true. The Killzone 2 video was a little ridiculous in hindsight.

What I actually want to add is that Nintendo and Sony have very different agendas. Nothing from memory indicates that Nintendo would be interested in playing that game.

The Killzone 2 video wasn't a tech demo though ... It was a pre-rendered video that Sony claimed would look like the final product.

The Wii U tech demos were running on the systems hardware in real time and displayed levels of interactivity you often see in videocard tech demos. Being that the hardware is not finalized yet, Nintendo's software libraries/game engines have (probably) not been completed yet, and the developers have (probably) not mastered the hardware yet it is entirely possible that these tech=demos may turn out like the Gamecube tech demos and be eclipsed by games that are actually released for the system.
