With PS3 or 360, the only time i said wow was when they showed a Gears of War image taken from high end PC's. Everything else just does not look next gen. RE5 looks like it could be on the GC as does the pics i've seen on MGS4 (or is it 5 now?)
That Capcom game with the robots looks next gen. the HD is only reason to get either of them, but I think Sony is going hit a hard wall when they realize that they aren't going to be selling PS3's based on graphical quality. People will look at it and think X360 and buy the cheaper system (lmao, cheaper). Once all the systems comes out its going to be a battle of games, and more specifically games with online multiplayer. It could even come down to who has the best online services.
Unless the rev is noticeably weaker in graphics in comparison to 360 or PS3 (which I dont believe it will be a side from HD) I see this coming war to be fought over wireless routers. Who has the best online multiplayer like i said, who has the best d/l services (such as d/l games or patches) etc. Long gone are the days where one game would make a system dominate a market. If Goldeneye or PD didnt exist and you released it on one of the next gen systems it would not repeat the effect it had on N64 back in the day where Goldeneye gave the N64 a lead over PSX, there are so many games now, 3 console companies and twice as many gamers (or more) and one 'It' game or 'exclusive' franchises is just not going to cut it anymore.
