It's because on paper they may not look too impressive next to their rivals.Ignis Fatuus said:Out of curiosity why is Nintendo always so coy about revealing detailed spec sheets? Are they afraid Sony is going to gank their shit?

HAL_Laboratory said:A smart move. It's economical but obviously very capable.

markot said:What did the DS launch at price wise?
An oldish gpu chip doesnt mean it will be cheaper, the 3d screen, 5.1 audio... etc...
$150 off the top of my head, could be wrong.markot said:What did the DS launch at price wise?
LOL true.Ignis Fatuus said:What rivals?

Snakeyes said:So it pushes 15.3 M polygons per second?
Yeah, that school of thought does not apply in this generation. People thought it did last generation, and we all saw how that turned out.Father_Brain said:I wouldn't recommend making any assumptions based solely on the fact that the GPU tech has been around for four years.

Don't be surprised when the third parties that are supporting you now jump ship to the more powerful iPhone 5 in about 2 years, Nintendo

In two years, 3DS will probably be a gravy train. So... yeah...Snakeyes said:So the OpenGL ES 2.0 SMAPH-S was THAT much more expensive and power hungry?

until a developer shares final specs with us there's no reason to look into things too deeply.

Now all Brazilians are make dick jokes with this.
really doubt all Brazilians care about the chip itself...BDGAME said:Thanks Nintendo to choose a chip name "PICA", that Means "DICK" in Portuguese.

Tell us more about this NURBS thing and the procedural texturing. I remember back when people thought the Flipper would be capable of NURBS.
Did someone contradict Kojima?Mudkips said:STOP spreading the 5.1 audio bullshit.
STOP.
So far this thing is sex, so it must be a pretty big pica. No homo (just came from the new Boondocks episode)BDGAME said:Thanks Nintendo to choose a chip name "PICA", that Means "DICK" in Portuguese.

brain_stew said:One big sucky point is that the chip doesn't support MSAA!
If Quaz51's theory about you getting free 2x supersampling in 2D mode is correct I think I'm going to have to give up the stereo3D! :lol
I wouldn't have bothered if games were using 2xmsaa in S3D mode but since we now know they'll all have absolutely zero antialiasing, that 2x supersampling is sounding awfully appealing!
What is the difference between that and full scene anti-aliasing?brain_stew said:One big sucky point is that the chip doesn't support MSAA!
