Let's circlejerk some more over a graphics chip which noone has ever seen in real life, which probably is going to be downclocked to save battery life, which doesn't do OpenGL 2.0 and doesn't have programmable pixel shaders. There are chances that every game will have the same look because of limited set of embedded shaders coders can choose from... no, really. The fact that there is a Pica200 version capable of 400 Mpix/s doesn't necessarily mean that this exact model will be used in 3DS.
Prove it.
I second this motion. Pachura, do you think Nintendo as a company is stupid. You don't think they would show case the great looking games they did, and NOT live up to the proper consumer expectations? It's a handheld, so sue Sony, and Apple, and the Android handhelds as well. Keep in mind though, that 2 out of three of those do not produce dedicated gaming devices, and the 3rd is pretty much moving from that. I think it's safe to say, that Nintendo has most of the details ironed out, and that the 3DS will live up to consumer expectation, and not cuntsumer flatuations.
As we all perfectly know, nothing can be proven at this moment, as Nintendo is keeping 3DS' hardware specs secret. Therefore, neither can you prove that they will use the last and the best Pica200 model available, nor I can disprove it. We can only speculate. Knowing Nintendo's past hardware strategy, it is really difficult for me to expect 3DS's GPU to be "a beast", as Midna's written...
Also, I don't agree screenshots from upcoming 3DS games look so breathtaking. Excluding Resident Evil and maybe one or two others, they look just slightly better than PSP.
