Think of it this way, pda's today can have 128 meg's of ram and over a processor that is over 400 mhz and it easily fits into you're pocket for $500, the only reason the price is so high is because the companies need to make a profit on it and nintendo doesn't want to make any profit on their hardware so they can sell it for a lot less. The only thing that keeps pda's from having really good graphics is the lack of a graphics card and the fact that it has to run more than one application which eats up on the system resources, In the case of nintendos next console, only one application is running at one time which is the game so it doesn't need that much ram and ati is developing the graphics card for the next nintendo system. Ati has the most powerfull and smallest graphics card on the maket right now. Not only that but mobil technowlegy will be a lot better by 2005 considering the significant advancements they have made already in this field. If nintendo want to become #1 with this next generation of consoles, they're gonna have to do something drastic that will make everyones mouth drop, It;s the only way to go.
