People who buy PS3s and 360s will gauge the visual quality of the marketable games to whatever release raises the bar the farthest. Are you saying that you never look at a shitty 3rd party game and wonder why the graphics look so much worse than the more hyped-up 1st party ones? People won't buy a PS3 to play games that belong on a PS2.

That sounds awfully close to fanboy-ism.

That sounds awfully close to asking me if i care.

I'm really sick of the notion all the good games only are released on Nintendos consoles. It seems like people forget that Nintendo also is a company who is out to earn money. The only reason they pretend to care about their fans is to get money from them. Nintendo isn't different from Sony or Microsoft, they all have the same goal. Stop thinking that Nintendo is you loveable uncle or something.

I don't think that PS3 and 360 owners will complain if the games don't have maximal graphics. There are at least as many people that want innovative gameplay and good story buying games for the PS3 and 360 as for the Revolution. It seems also that you have mixed up the terms bad graphics and bad design. Design is obviously what is important, if that is good people will not care if the graphics are not top-of-the-line.

No, it was not a question.

Excuse me? Well that's a first. Usually the so-called "fanboyism" is applied to a person who chooses not to conform to the popular notion that Nintendo's games are inferior. I buy Nintendo games because they're fun, not because I feel that Mayamoto loves me. That was perhaps the most random and groundless statement you've ever said, el_boss.

So tell me....what makes PS3 better than PS2, if graphics aren't your priority? Seriously.

Who says that Nintendos games are inferior? I just don't think that they are neccessarily superior. I was referring to this.

The production companies aren't concerned with the smaller group of people that play a game for good story or game mechanics, they're after the market as a whole (for the most part). The goal of the more powerful of the next gen systems is realism, the "great" looking games will be the big sellers.

Maybe I misunderstood him, but that was the notion I got. You can't deny that there is a general feeling toward Nintendo, that they are the "nice-guys" in this business.

Can you play the PS3 games on a PS2? If so, I will probably not buy a PS3, not right away at least.

Nintendo has announced a redesign of Nintendo DS. The new version will be called DS Lite.



The DS Lite name bares dual meaning. It will weigh lighter, and the screen will be brighter.

I personally prefer the current design, but a brighter screen and a lighter build are always welcome.

EDIT: If this comes in black, it will totally shit all over PSP even more. It will be like diarrhea. Oh God, that would be so awesome.
