Report: 3DS almost as powerful as 360, PS3
Lots of rumors have been floating about the upcoming 3DS, ranging from the system taking advantage of the NVIDIA Tegra mobile chipset (which is false) to the system playing Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin Somethin’” to wake you up in the morning (which I just made up).
But now the rumors are reaching a whole new level of crazy and legitimate at the same time. IGN is reporting that developers who have worked with the system have said the system’s power almost rivals that of an Xbox 360 or PS3, and far exceeds the Wii. Don’t shake your heads in denial so fast: it actually makes a lot of sense.
For any system, let alone a handheld system, to produce 3D stereoscopic effects, it must have enough power to produce two copies of the game field needed to create 3D objects. That’s a lot of power. However, as one can read from developers’ first impressions, the new DS has a ton of kick to it. Just keep in mind that “almost equal” power doesn’t translate to Xbox 360/PS3 level graphics. With all the power needed to produce 3D effects, the system’s graphical capabilities will be hampered. Hell, if we get PS2 caliber graphics out of the 3DS then we can consider that a gigantic achievement.
I can’t wait for E3 to get my hands on the damn thing. Hopefully the game’s graphical power will be able to counter the headache its 3D effects induce on me. How the system winds up landing in a reasonable price range ($200-$250) is beyond me. But if these reports continue to get crazier, it’s looking like the 3Ds won’t be.
