Remember guys if you've finished the official tournament we can still use to the other tournament room that was created in my signature.
NWR's hosting a weekend tournament! Code is 2515-0637-1346. More details on the front page!
Man I got disconnected sorry.
I know seriously! Should one of us just create a tournament room?
tbh at least from screenshot graphic comparisons I've seen there isn't exactly a huge gap between the PS4 and PS3, (for multiplats)

I heard this exact argument about a thousand times during the first few years of the Wii's life. I also recall a lot of claims that the third party support was coming because everyone was just caught off guard by the Wii's success and since it was the best selling console the third party support was going to come and that the hardware was not a real hurdle for porting.
ymeegod makes a great point about the Rainfall games. How important are core gamers to Nintendo when we needed a whole online movement to get NOA to localize good games? NOA was so disinterested in anything that wasn't a sure thing massive mainstream hit that they felt that software droughts were better than releasing a niche title. Xenoblade is one of the best Wii games but it has about zero casual appeal and that's probably exactly why NOA wasn't interested.
If the Wii was able to at least output a 720p resolution we wouldn't be having this discussion. I think Nintendo gamers couldn't understand why their favorite game franchises were not in HD. That single fact alone caused a mass exodus of Nintendo fans to the other platforms.
Can 240 lines of resolution really cause that big of a difference in perception? YES IT CAN? I completely agree. Even now I want 10 wii games in HD, as if it's some sort of unfinished experience. In hindsight, I can see why some gamers feel incomplete without HD. (Metroid Prime 3 in HD back in 09 and the gaming world is a different place)
