This won't settle anything.

I'm a graphics whore. I admit it. When I sit down to play the newest game on the market, I want it too look pretty. Just so there is no confusion, I didn't say realistic... just pretty.

It's lucky for Sony that some people are more interested in the aesthetic side of gaming.

i disagree completely.

sony builds and markets these type of products because they KNOW there are people more interested in the aesthetic side of gaming. they could cater to the needs of another market if that was where the money was. luck has nothing to do with it.

No, no... it's luck

And Nintendo's lucky that some people will still buy NEW games for OLD graphics and gameplay.

If you want an old game, buy an old game.

there is no luck involved.

they dont just piss into the wind and hope the wind blows the right way...companies like Sony and Nintendo know what they're doing before they release a product.

as for HOW good the product does...some luck is involved, I GUESS...but it almost always stems from product quality and marketing, and effective R&D

All I know is I'd much rather see Grand Theft Auto PSP then Grand Theft Auto DS. After looking at those Need For Speed DS graphics.....bleh.
