beauty is in the eye of the beholder and cost is relative to the size of thier bank account. as for realism...remember like 10 years ago bein blown away by goldeneye on the n64 and how real it seemed...and that was just about 10 or so years ago...just think 10 years into the future what games might be like. I think peoples decision on system gaming should come down more to what kind of games you enjoy most and which system has the best line-up for you.
