What does that even mean? Graphics age horribly. The N64 had great graphics for its time too so by your logic we should have kept with that power?

No. I'm not saying that. I'm saying even with the power of Wii they are still capable of amazing games, and with Wii U there's enough for now. No hurry/need to upgrade to compete with XOne/PS4 as they are not in the position to race against those big companies.

NGC was an improvement of N64 but didn't bring anything new and we know how much it sold. They then tried with Wii, a new concept, and it went good. At least they tried with Wii U, but execution was terrible.

I'm being selfish here! I know it would probably kill Nintendo's sales, but I'd be happy with my eye candy.

While the competition does both...


It's ok to realize Nintend left that tech race time ago. They simply won't and cannot compete with biggers companies like Sony and Ms.

Now they focus on making games as better as they can with the tech they have. Nothing wrong with that.


Wh not? They have the capital, and its not like they never made the most powerfull console before (N64)

Financially, for them, will be a wasting money. To make the games they want to release is more than enough. In those dark eras the portables were the ones profiting for them.

Being alone with N64/NGC and we'll be looking (maybe) an another Sega. Having the most powerful console won't fix their problems (kiddy/casual perception and lack of third party support).

Although, the casual perception of Wii was a good thing.

Well, i'll like to see a Zelda/Metroid game with the better graphics of the gen. Then, I realize NIntendo won't make it. It is just accepting the hard truth.

Graphics are only about tech. Art is about aesthetics.

Watch this video


One problem with using this video to support your case. It not only claims that aesthetics should be used to measure how good a game looks, but actually values aesthetics over graphics.


I dont disagree with those points. However, the fact that therei are NO Wii games which have best graphics this gen remains true


Which is fine. I'm okay with Nintendo being justified in heavily prioritizing aesthetics over graphics.

While the competition does both...


And gets locked into an expensive arms race.

Which is good for us customers


Studios going under is good for customers?

Haha, thats a good one xD. Studios going under because standards for graphics are getting higher lol.

I now see why Naughty Dog, Epic and Polyphony are all going bankrupt... Its not like ND's new IP shipped 3 million copies 1st week

Yeah, attracting 3rd party devs and customers with more capable hardware would defintely waste them money.

Are you fucking serious? You brush off the fact that alot of studios went under in the 7th gen by saying that because big companies like Epic and companies whose games are published by Sony are not going bankrupt therefore rising game budgets couldn't have had anything to do with the studios no longer able to make games?

Studios closed because they ran bad buisness and didnt make games that were appealing to the market. It has absolutely nothing to do with hardware and graphics. I can not believe you really think graphics are the reason studios shut down xD. There were studios that failed even when visuals were at PS2 standards. And companies who are under Sony can still fail (Studio Liverpool) so you dont have to act as if i gave some bad example of anything

Yeah, like the GC had all the third party support and was the best selling device.

PS2 was too much of a beast for anyone to handle. 

Still, GC would have probably done worse if it had inferior hardware
