That being said, I think Nintendo saying that their next system being only 2-3 times faster is being brutally honest. I don't buy Microsoft's and Sony's stats. I think to an extent they are pulled out of the ass. I think it's all a marketing ploy that both companies have pulled before. Personally I will wait until they show the goods. I want to see a functional game on each system. Then I want to see how fun it is. The graphics should always be secondary in my mind. Gameplay should always come first. Nintendo is usually a safe bet on this, but I find alot of fun games on the PS2 too.
I agree. Honestly, who cares about stats...stats aren't gonna save a game from being crappy. Ninja Gaiden and Halo 2 sure look good, but I don't consider them better than RE:4, Eternal Darkness, or Metroid Prime (all which look just as good by the way). Specs of a system mean jack and shit in today's world. It's too bad that many fanboys base their system biases on these specs (millions of XBox fanboys come to mind...MORE MEGAHERTZ = SONY SUX!!).
