"Most gamer these days are hi-res freaks"

As a Nintendo shareholder and fan of the top-selling Wii and DS, I'd dispute that ;-) Imaginative gameplay and story are higher on my list than polygons.

What can I say? I'm tempted to get a PS/3, but as a gaming machine, it's mostly untapped potential right now, and it may be so for quite awhile to come: Figure that Halo 3 for Xbox 360 will have taken almost 3 years! Having hardware capable of rendering every blade of grass is one thing, but actually doing it is another! The more detailed things get, the longer they'll take to produce and the costlier the whole production becomes. And games publishers will be inclined to play it safe, rather than try something daring.
