Ninty and Micry (ouch) siding up... it's time for Matrix to be incoherent again.


AND: They both dominated E3 while Sony just commited suicide!

DX10 focuses on optimization despite all the flair around it (aka Crysis).
There's little that you can't do on the 2 heavyweight () consoles that you can do in DX10, save for the geometry shader. The others are more of PC-specific code and optimizations.(The 360 has a unified shader architecture that basically was the main point of DX10)

Since the 2 console systems have consistent hardware platforms (they won't be variable like a PC) it's easy to do lots of hardware "tricks". Getting Burnout Revenge to run on a PS2 with 24MB RAM is one of the best results.

Don't think console hardware needs to be awesome paper-wise, when great developers (Epic, Insomniac, etc.) can make games that run smoothly on consoles but make 7950GX2s cry.

(I'm still not betting good on the Wii- Twilight Princess is really much of a letdown after RE4 Looks like some devs thought they needn't concentrate on presentation after there's "gameplay".)
