NDS graphics question.

So its down to game library then.
You could have the best console ever built but if the other guy has games with huge fanbases - final fantasy, pokemon etc you don't stand a chance.
I know psp had crisis core but they should have built on that. The DS nailed it with their FF releases.
Come to think about it, the only psp game that does interest me is crisis core and I wouldn't buy one just for that.

thatonemexicanguyPSP has a better hardware..........
this could also be said for the ps2 and gamecube......as they were released nearly the same year..........
Nintendo strives to make games for us which are more "cartoonish" rather than more complex in the graphic sense........
I love my gamecube though............
wasnt gamecube the most powerful

Everything except for storage (of discs, which could only hold about 1.3 gigs of data compared to ps2 and xbox's 4.7-8.4 GB DVDs, since they were mini discs, and of memory cards, which were half the size of their competitors)

No, Xbox was, GC was wedged in between the PS2 and Xbox.

Doesn't change the fact that the XBOX was overall the most powerful, it pretty much had the nice things about the GC (almost as good grafix and fur-shading) and the PS2 (DVD5 and DVD9 storage, and more save storage) combined, overall making it the strongest...even if it did only sell in america.Actually, one of the XBOX's best power demos is probably conker live and reloaded. The fur texture looks amazing for its time and it runs flawlessly.

The only reason I even played Xbox was because my sisters boyfriend had one.
He had Halo 1+2 and Gotham something racing.Halo was cool.
The other game was boring.

Fable was great IMO; I think that the original is far better than Fable 2 too. Tutu

Off-topic: ban for off topic? pretty harsh.On-topic: Nintendo never really focuses on graphics. Plus they keep all their consoles very cheap.

im sure he was joking..........was he (shaking in a corner)

this is part of it..........
as i stated before in other posts its due to the feel of system.......
Nintendo strives for cartoon characters.....therefore they are aimed at younger kids mostly.............

NatewlieTo keep the price of the DS down.Also the games are smaller because the games are cartridge based and don't have the most amazing graphics too.
This, and the fact is nintendo is trying to make people see the gameplay abilities and not the graphic power.I'd rather play metroid prime hunters or ninja giaden ds than predator or coded arms on psp.(Though psp does have some great games on it that were perfect like ridge racer and the mgs games :) )

Is that a joke?
I paid a fortune for both DS and wii.
2nd hand in the game shop near me they are both the same price as a 360.

He meant cheap for Nintendo, I think, not for us :(

Thats even worse, they are not just expensive, they are ripping us off too!
Damn you nintendo, if it wasn't for my daughter and girlfriend you wouldn't get any of my money.
I hope the next handheld can get some big name games and force nintendo to try harder.
