They have to say that because they can't admit that there are other factors involved...
I seriously hope he's joking. The new Unreal 3 tech demo is just a glimpse of what the next generation of gaming will be like, and it's already several times more graphically impressive than any game of 2004. If Nintendo is making their N5 technology with the hope that the next generation of systems won't look much better than the current generation, they are screwed.[/QUOTE]
Still, I'm sure that whatever hardware they end up with will be competitive. He doesn't say that they'd have it be far behind, just that they'd want it to things that are different as well...
Quote:Since when is MS going to make their new system difficult to develop for? The X-Box is more powerful than the GC yet developers haven't expressed any problems developing for the X-Box. And with MS's very cool XNA plan, developing for the X-Box 2 should be a cinch.
Again this is just Nintendo's excuse to not make their next system as powerful as the competition's, which is a huge mistake.
... Microsoft? Easy to program for? Uh, those are in the same sentence? :)
