Fans who write Nintendo regarding system specs for the upcoming Revolution consoles receive an
official response from Nintendo. Though the company has yet to release hardware details, it's adamant in
that Revolution graphics will look good on both standard and HD TV sets and will reinvent how gamers play video
games.
From the release: "Games with high definition graphics are expensive to develop because they must be developed in both
standard and high definition formats. Those development costs are passed on to you in the form of more expensive
software. Finally, playing games with high definition graphics requires a system with loads of RAM and costly high-end
graphics chips, both of which make it prohibitively expensive for most consumers."
Is Nintendo playing the "didn't do it so let's market against it" card, or does their strategy and stance really have
validity?
