OMG 6 screens!

wait, so have they stated what kind of graphical power it will have? I keep seeing people write "(LADYLOO) -> Wii"
If it's a generational leap, should it be gamecube graphics, since the DS is slightly better N64 graphics?

Fax man, you're missing a crucial point...it has motion control and has a camera on it, and can access the internet...so by your definitions in previous threads, it will also fail because people are watching you play your games



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

People would be happy with it being Current PSP graphics, can't really compare a handheld to a console anymore, it's just not worth the comparison. Completely different hardware featuresets

Sorry, the 3DP is the successor to the 3DO. The 3DS would be a 4th generation follow up to the 3DO.

So?

 

3DO -> SNES Gen

3DP -> N64 Gen

3DQ -> GC Gen

3DS -> Wii Gen

 

Any more ifs and buts? My logic is sound and water proof.


What happened to the 3DR?????   Or was that just a failed prototype?

Damn, sorry. Since the 3DS is clearly NEXT GEN, (3D and all), it must be:

 

3DR -> Wii Gen

3DS -> Zjj Gen

 

My bad, the logic holds true though.

Well thanks for clearing that up.  His logic is solid people,  no need to argue this.

It's clearly just piggybacking on the 3DO name, which in turn was piggybacking on the 3PO name, you know, the robot who is a popular character in the Star Wars franchise.

There we have it, Nintendo are clearly copying George Lucas.
