Getting a little ahead of yourself with the pic there... lol

Regardless, I changed the OP to better reflect what my point of view was as you asked in the first reply.  Also, is the thread title more fitting?

The thread isn't intended to be a Nintendo is Best... it's about looking at the approaches we are seeing and how the community feels about those.

Not worried about "having the last word". Thanks for pointing out how it could be perceived, wasn't my intention.

Now back on topic, your post pointing out the graphical differences was well put together. Do you think gaming is close to reaching the limits of graphic fidelity on consoles?

Lol... I just PMed you about this. But yes, the thread title is more fitting. As I said in my PM, it's part of my job to be on the lookout for users who are looking to start trouble, so sometimes that does lead us maybe to be overly suspicious. Next time something like this happens, I'll PM you first, because in retrospect that may have been the better option.

On topic... I don't think I'd say we're close to reaching the limits on graphical fidelity on consoles. But, I'd say that for there to be another SNES-N64 level jump, there would have to be a major breakthrough in technology. Improvement can still happen without that, but if technology follows the current trend, the differences will be more incremental.

All good mate, we live and learn.

Yeah, I haven't really seen anything that offers that "major breakthrough" in technology, even on PC.  I guess that's why I fell out of love of gaming after the 360 era, the PS4/Xbox One era just felt more of the same in prettier makeup if you will, lol. Still doesn't feel like a "generational" leap in gaming, which I think explains Microsoft's approach currently. The Switch has felt much more innovative in gaming than anything else in a long time.
