haha good laugh! Thanks :D

People just assume PS720 will look all that much better, but as of now there isn't any evidence for that. 

I would say some of the tech demos we've seen alone are evidence for it. 

Oh, you mean all the "extremely scalable" engines, like UE4? That engines supposed to work on smartphones as well as a high end PC. And of course they're gonna show off the PC version, making people go "Ooooh", "Aaaahh", "woooow"

It's not evidence that's how PS720 will look.

I think it's pretty clear that when we get these typically console games being shown off with all these fancy new effects, it's an indication of what Orbis and Durango will produce. 

MGS and Final Fantasy for example, aren't franchises known for pushing PC tech, yet the MGS GZ demo and FF tech demo looks beyond or on-par with what system-pushing PC games have shown lately (e.g. Metro: LL, Witcher 2). Are they spending god knows how much resources on all these extra effects and graphical features for the PC version alone, or are they targeting Sony and Microsoft's next gen systems? 

I don't see why kojima productions/Konami would be investing in all this awesome tech if only the PC version would truly benefit from it. Their bread and butter is console sales.

Am I making sense?

Yes, I think you're making sense. I'm just too tired to make any further arguments =) sorry to leave the discussion that way, but it feels like we're both banging our heads against a stone wall since we don't actually know how powerful the PS720 will be. Heck, we don't even know what Wii U can do yet! All I'm saying it'll be something more similar to Xbox vs PS2 than PS360 vs Wii, both in regards of graphics - but more importanly with regards to 3rd party support (well, that last thing is me hoping 3rd parties won't be such douches!!)
