Graphics will always matter to some degree. It's just an issue of using them effectively to help convey the scene to the player.

.....Sony and Microsoft will be announcing consoles that will make it look like the Sega Saturn. :PMrSelf-Destruct

then they will be 3 and a half generations stronger? since the wii's only a gen behind the ps3 and 360, that'd be impossible. :P

Why do you compare next gen to current gen? Its like comparing 360 to GC, which have better graphics? When 720 and ps4 is out then compare it to Wii 2 which will be crushed as always.silversix_

Multiplats will be compared for better or for worse. If they're the same game on all three systems why can't they be compared? Hermits will do this all the time when the BF3 console pics are finally shown and PC tech is years ahead.

Wii 2 gets the best version of a console multiplat - Cows and Lemmings: ''well duh, its a new console''

Wii 2 gets a multiplat that looks no better than the opposition - Cows and Lemmings: ''lol @ Nintendo's next-gen console''

So either Wii 2 gets compared with the other two consoles this gen or it gets compared with the PC. It will be stuck between a rock and a hard place one way or the other as far as the system war goes.

The interesting thing would be on multi plats if they make the Wii 2 version "better" than PS3/360. Regardless, graphics will still matter and the next MS/Sony console will more powerful than the Nintendo and we'll be right back where we started, Heil68

What? You mean--graphics will matter again?

Because that's pretty much what I've been seeing all over the place. Ninty fans with the usual argument that graphics was never really a set back for the Wii and most of them are now drooling at the prospect of seeing their favorite franchises on a more powerful system. I wonder if people would still be satisfied at all with a Wii 2 that was still far below 360 quality, I might have believed that a few weeks ago, but not anymore and that's good, because, yes, quality hardware does matter.

Outside of that, we don't even know anything about the console yet that has been confirmed so I would wait 'til E3.

Once Nintendo releases the most powerful console available, MS and Sony will follow-up later with even more powerful consoles... :|

And then those will remain as standards as PC hardware continues to improve.

What are you talking about TC?

Graphics won't matter any more. correct?gensigns

So if Nintendo does put out a console that can output in HD and make pretty looking games, for Nintendo fans, graphics suddenly matter?

I wouldn't mind it if this was a new standard for the industry. Having 3 consoles that release so close together is so boring, pointless, and expensive. Even having one in between makes it easier for developers to expand what they can do on current consoles. As most probably know, Crytek recently complained about console limitations, then said 8gb should be standard next generation... Thats way overkill, but they have a point, generations that are this long really limit developers. How much better can we get on our current consoles? Looking at games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, etc. I don't think they can be pushed much more.

All fans change their priorities to coincide with their favorite system maker. ;)

My personal opinion is that Microsoft and Sony should get together and make a console with Sony building the hardware and Microsoft providing the online service and support. And Nintendo should get out of the home console market and make handhelds and become a developer/publisher for console versions of their first party IP's...

But everyone can dream of a perfect world right?
