now if they release it this year at sub $249 then it will be  NINTENDO would be sure gamemakers for next 10 years

uggg. I understand the implications what people are saying, but theres a lot excitement that's over some mistakes.

The 3DS has about PSP level  graphics. Some of the 3DS games look better than some PSP games and some look worse. They go above and below the range. Over time people will be able to figure how to make some fantastic looking 3DS games.

The games looks about the same. They both look grainy. 3DS games do not equal Wii quality. They are good graphics, but people are over looking that the DPI is very good on the system. Take a much more analytical examination and techniques used in the various games. Watch some PSP demos too. There isn't much of a difference. 

SF4 as an example. There is a scene where Ryu is getting kicked by Cammy. Check out the background. The tables are in 3D rendered. Look at the fellow with the black pants and yellow shirt. He's a board. A board is a 2d image drawn on a flat surface. The entire background is a 2d image. Which means that they can focus 90% of the poly's on the fighters. Fighting games on PS2 look fantastic when it comes to the characters. Doing the same on the NGC Fighters looked even better. Check out Soul Calibur for the GC. There is no comparison of SF4 looking anywhere near as good as SC for GC.

3DS is closer to PSP/PS2. Still that's nothing to scoff. That's pretty darn impressive. It really is. I'm sure down the road 3DS games will be looking a lot more like mature PS2 games. Though even Kid Icarus didn't equal some mature PS2 games. But I was wowed by the DPI and texture polish of KH. Though DPI texture polish do not equal power.

Finally. There is NO PSP2 coming any time soon. Not even a new hardware : seriously for PSP it was a let down. All PSP got was a annoying teenager named Marcus. If anyone one could get me to stop using my PSP it would be Marcus. Secondly Sony outright claimed that there are no plans for the PSP line including PSP2 to have any 3D. So if PSP2 does get 3D it will be a follow move.

i believe they said it will be released this fiscal year, so march 2011 at latest it seems

we aren't claiming those are ps360 graphics, we are saying that the devolopers who have had time to play with this and use dev kits or whatever have said the power is close to the ps360

so are we supposed to go off what we think each picture looks like for a quick demo of the 3D for spectators or what actual developers have to say it COULD do.

now that I look at it, the graphics look like XBOX/WII in some screens, while in others it looks about as good as PSP if not worse..

So confusing.. when are the specs coming out for this thing!

btw the kingdom hearts screens are not from the 3DS game, they are just placed there according to Nomura, though the game should rival Birth by sleep visuals.

nobody has said its close to PS360 visuals.. it was a rumor, clearly its not even close to PS360 visuals.. as some are target renders, while the true in game screens look like something between DS and PSP.

Bolded is exactly my point. I would never claim its as powerful as the PS360, just that it will eventually have similar output due to lower power needs of a smaller screen.

i think you are mixing some DS games with 3DS games. (like Sims 3) , also think some of them are fake , they don't look professional.

what is officlal though looks great (kid icarus!!), its graphical capabilities are close to those of the PSP, so we will probably see a lot of multiplats, i'm also glad they added an analog as well, some games just need it badly.

Actually, it's a good indication of an alpha build of the first batch, as it was put togheter for E3.

It was said during an Iwata Asks that this is the most powerfull handheld ever, so above PSP is a given.
