BTW, there has been a HUGE jump in graphics from these two systems, technically speaking. It's just not quite as noticable to a lot of people, especially those that don't play games much. My sister can't even tell the difference when they're playing side my side. (i've got two tv's right next to each other) I think she's stupid or something, i'm not sure.I beg to differ there has not been a HUGE jump in graphics. Unless you are going from a non hd game to a HD game. Which can't really count because they don't get the same resolution. It would be liking comparing a 1600x1200 game to a 800x600 obviously the 800x600 is going to look like shit.
You don't need good graphics to make a good game, but it's hard to make that game great without good graphics.
On a side note I guess i'm getting a wii on launch day. (yay...) My friend with the reserve just got a $200 ticket and can't afford one anymore. Guess i'm gonna be about 1 of 50 people with one in fargo on launch day. I'm just not 1/10th as excited as I was for my 360. I'm actually more excited to have a system that can play gamecube games again lol.
And gameplay is 2nd to graphics. why is the DS kicking the wholy shit outta the PSP with its better handheld graphics then? The hardcore gamer will always think graphics over gameplay as that's what its always seemed but in reality its not and your sister pointed it out by saying they look the same. Because a majority of people don't bother enough to pay attention to stupid detail that doesn't add anything to a game.
