  • Graphics can always look better.
  • There are experiences available on PC not available on consoles due to performance
  • 3D
  • Smaller games due to procedural generation of game assets vs pre-created assets today to allow more downloadable games.
  • Crossover between handhelds/home consoles.
  • New methods of game play, episodical/rental services through kiosks.
  • Refined controls designed to be implemented from the get go and synergies between these controls and 3D display.


Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

Virtual reality!



^ That too, perhaps eyeglass mounted OLED displays synced to a console. It would work great with the Xbox 360 controller concept as you could power everything from the handheld controller.

Graphics on PC games are already years ahead of anything either of the SD twins are capable of producing.

What games on the PC are years ahead?Give me a list



I don't expect huge changes, Nintendo, and thus the computer game industry, runs on a tick-tock cycle. NES introduced such gaming as is found in Mario, Zelda, Metroid, SNES perfected 2d gaming, N64 introduced 3d, GC perfected it. Wii introduced motion controls, Wii2 will perfect it.

Graphics should look better, framerates of PS360 games have been appaling this generation - hopefully next gen consoles will run at twice the framerate of the PS3 and 360. (4x if they want to run in 3d of course)

Ninty's next console is confirmed to run in HD

PS4, 720 will have Natal+ and move+ as default controllers

Wii2 will have much more flash memory

All consoles will use 802.11 n wireless

Wii controller will be Wiimote with built in WM+, and a nunchuk with equal motion controlling to the Wiimote.

PS4 will use either a Blu ray drive with a faster read speed, or a new disk drive
720 will use a disk drive based on HD-dvd technology
Wii2 will use proprietary technology (shock) with storage capabilities at least triple the Wii's (30 gb) and with read speed bumped up by the same factor



I think someone has bought into the hype train ...

Being that many affordable ($100) graphics cards today are seeing benchmarks with over twice the frame rate, twice the resolution, with 16xAA and 16xAF, higher texture detail and more advanced shader effects than these games are getting on consoles I think it is fair to say that what is preventing PC games from "Blowing people's minds" are that these games are (almost exclusively) developed for consoles.

Beyond that, the best looking PS3 and XBox 360 games tend to have relatively small static environments; and even moderately large or modestly dynamic environments are really rather unimpressive. While it is certainly not a fair comparison, you can see this by taking a similar looking seen from a pre-rendered movie (like a Pixar movie) and compare it to a HD console game and the flaws will become rapidly apparent.

Now I'm not saying that graphics (alone) will ever be the selling feature that they once were (if they were at all), but saying you can't improve upon HD console graphics is laughable.

Edit: Just a comment on HD consoles running 3D TV ... Being that most HD console games struggle to reach 720p at 30fps how great will their graphics be if they need to reach 60 or 120 frames per second?

Pretty well anything, the tech used in the SD twins is horribly outdated.

When I game on my PC, the games have more AA, better textures, better effects, and ~8 times the resolution of their console counterparts, all at ~double the framerates as well.
