Is this next console necessarily to complete with Ps3/360 when they will have ps4/720 in few years ? Nintendo is silly. Nintendo should skip to new and powerful console competition with Ps4/720 instead. Wait and see. For now, not for me. WISE MONEY and 3rd party first!

They've compared a PC vs a console, it's not a balanced comparison.
Computers have better than consoles ever will.
Gameplay matters more than graphics, so PS3/360 are more than enough.
Heck, play Forza on Xbox 1 and see its graphics, they were awesome.

I guess they couldn't wait for the official announcement. And yeah, it's stupid to compared the console vs. custom built pc (or what IGN called custome Wii 2). ROFL on that one.

But what I saw was even funnier. Thank you IGN for at least emphasizing at the end that of course Nintendo will have custom hardware, OS, etc., etc. Because a PC version of a Home Console, although it was entertaining to watch, it was a little funny.
