i like the way Nintendo shows stuff and then beats what they showed instead of promising something they can't achieve graphically until two gens after :P

i think PS4 will give us what they promised the PS2 would

It reminds me of last gen. Back then, the big thing was polygon count. Sony and Microsoft both tried to outdo each other by posting the theoretical maximum for their systems (non-textured, no shading/AA etc.), whereas Nintendo released a "Polygon count under average graphical conditions". Of course, it took a microsecond for the uninformed to jump on the "Wow! That number is so low compared to PS2 and Xbox!!!" train.

I can imagine how it was. Back then I had no idea how things worked but then I wasn’t online on forums much either :P

But seems that nothing has changed and it will never do that either as there will always be the young ones and the ignorant grownups
