Upgrading graphics (Score 1)

This statement is probably the most misunderstood one around right now. Nintendo has gone on record many times explaining the "better graphics aren't enough" philosophy. They're saying that OF COURSE they're going to have cutting-edge graphics and technology. But it is Nintendo's philosophy that these cutting-edge graphics aren't enough. They want to offer something more, in addition to photorealistic experiences. They want to change the way that gamers interact with games, so as to appeal to a wider audience than the one they believe is getting more and more closed-circle. They want to broaden the definition of video games and gamers. That's why they're talking of "revolution." Read Iwata's address. He explains it very well. Now, it remains to be seen whether or not they'll be able to pull that off. Who knows.
