Pretty much everyone would agree that the difference between N64 and PS2 graphics is more significant than the difference between PS2 and PS3 graphics.

I wouldn't.  Like I said, they are probably about the same difference.  If you actually go back and play some PS2 games, which I do quite frequently, those games don't look as good as memory/nostalgia makes people think they did.  Hell, some people think that the Unreal Next Gen Demo didn't look too different from this gen, but the fact is, it looks leagues ahead of this gen.  Of course, from the PS2 era on, developers have been able to use tricks to make a game look better than it truly is.

Sure, if you look closely at games you can spot similar differences between each generations, but most people don't do this. Hence why the difference is not perceived as being the same by the massmarket, but rather getting increasingly smaller with each generation.

But, you don't even have to looks closely.  Going from GOW2 (one of the best looking games on the PS2) to GOW3 is no less impressive than when we went from MGS1 to MGS2.  In fact, many have said the graphics of GOW3 look on par, if not better, than the CGI cinematics from GOW2.  I would have to agree.  Where we have come to this gen in terms of polygon count, lighting/shadowing, and textures is nothing short of amazing.  However, I think many let nostalgia take over when they try to say, well this gen doesn't look all that advanced when compared to last gen.

lets put this into perspective of a smaller screen on a handheld:

GoW2:

GoW3:

Ghost of Sparta:

 

................

now imagine if you will, them making a GOW on the NGP (which can output 4 times that of the PsP) with a 5 inch screen O_O

Who's this Sebastian Kramer guy? He seems like a decent analyst. Surprised I've never heard of NTH before. I'm gonna have to look them up.

Nintendo fans - "NGP is doomed cos handheld sales are down!"
Sony fans - "NGP is gonna be a success cos 3DS is "failing"!"

Microsoft fans - "this doesn't mean anything"

Logical viewpoint - "MS sour grapes"


Where does logic come into this?

He is one of the few analysts out there that we can thrust, too bad he is as real as Mother 4.



Above: still the best game of the year.

I don't understand why people still comment on these retarded 'analyst' reports all the time. These things are garbage.



Think for yourself, question authority

yep SONY really at an Disadvantage when it comes to software when they have one of the biggest network of studios(maybe the biggest seeing ea closed so many). And they have got support of many many japanese devs who are pumping game after game for the PSP in japan will likley repeat the same for PSP2 which the DD platform allowing for increased profit. 

And you have western developers who have all pitched support to the PSP2, with Activison announcing an Call of duty game, the biggest game at the moment with like 100 million sales. 

Disadvantage my ass when it comes to software support. 

You should have looked at sales numbers before you wrote that post.


well CODBO: 20 million COD MW2: 20 million

= 40 million:

30 million (15 COD4 15 COD5)

= 70 million 

and COD1, 2 and 3 were fairly sucessful titles. So you are heading towards the 100 million mark. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
