Does the Nintendo 3DS Destroy iPhone & PSP Graphics?

How much better do 3DS games look than DS games? Does 3DS put Nintendo ahead of Sony in the handheld wars? How does the iPhone compare to the dedicated gaming machines?

Yes, does the PS3 Destroy Xbox and Gamecube graphics? Lets wait and see PSP2 and compare them.

Anarki5775d ago

Isn't this like putting a PS3 against a Gamecube? They're both different generations. PSP2(given it exists or not) will more than likely demolish the 3DS, graphically.

For now, the 3DS looks superior to anything else.

thereapersson5775d ago

And don't bring up the RAGE argument, because until every developer can produce similar results, you're going to be left with only one or two studios that can replicate such visual fidelity.

Like PSP Marcus says, the iPhone is for texting your Grandma & calling your girl.

RedPawn5775d ago

I don't agree, I need to see more first, but no hate, cause I know I'll get 3DS.

I really hope Alpha Dream is working on a New Mario & Luigi.

SilentNegotiator5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

Cute tactic. Asking a loaded question of something logical (Unreleased system with better graphics than 5 year old system) in order to boast. Sprinkle in some pre-rendered cutscene screens and you have a marketing-BS buffet.

We know the 3DS destroys the old generation in everyway.
compare to iphone 4g and psp2 and etc then we can have a nice discussion.

Like its fun and all to just sit and speculate
but wait till actual competition comes out.

PSP and 3DS are very similar in terms of graphics

ABizzel15775d ago

I agree, but the 3DS has the edge simply because it'll have newer hardware since the PSP was released over 5 years ago, so developers will be able to squeeze out more than what the PSP current PSP can pump out.

But I wouldn't knock the iPhone either. Developers aren't serious about the iPhone, but id got Rage up and running on it as a tech demo so it can pump out top notch graphics as well.

The PSP 2 (if/when it happens) will take the throne back easily. I'm guessing it's going to be a PS3 on the go.

iamnsuperman5775d ago

iphone shouldnt be mentioned. What games sell on the iphone are the cassual puzzle game not the shooters and games like that....of course the graphics will not be as good as the 3DS well they shudnt be because there games are like the PS3 minis not ful games at 15 quid or so

The iphone isnt a game system, a game portable or a handheld. Its a smart phone. Its not even in the discussion

lzim5775d ago

That argument isn't applicable because iPhone IS a development platform. even if they don't dedicate a mobile gaming platform, why should they? They've got enough supporters on the dev and gaming side looking for games and revenue from their sales. Is iPhone only not a gaming console because it doesn't have buttons for controls? Should Apple or 3rd parties make jackets for the devices that include buttons and thumbsticks (yes)? but does the larger gaming public give a crap? no. Eventually iPhone's games will mature but not until Apple steps in to set itself up as a gaming contender (for AAA titles). Rage is not the first, and it won't be the last. Or is Apple's touch phone pad and mac not considered because Apple doesn't make games in-house by retaining professional game studios like Bungie, Bizarre Creations, Ninja Theory? Should HP or Dell make games or productivity/OS software in-house too?

I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.

Neonridr1225d ago

PS5 + Switch is honestly the best combo.

Jin_Sakai1225d ago

Agreed. Both have amazing first party games!

Orchard1224d ago

SteamDeck + Switch.

Xbox and PS games are playable on SD.

badz1491224d ago

@Orchard

why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games

Orchard1224d ago

@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.

1224d ago
S2Killinit1224d ago

PS5 and Switch is definitely the way to go.

Jin_Sakai1224d ago

“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”

Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.

FinalFantasyFanatic1224d ago (Edited 1224d ago )

@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.

One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.

BehindTheRows1224d ago

PS5 + Switch + PC. But, close enough :P

The Wood1224d ago (Edited 1224d ago )

orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop

thorstein1224d ago

Well said. And whatever Xbox "exclusive" that I want, I just get for my PC.

You despise it because of a court battle?

Personally I share his sentiments, for what MS is doing to the industry.

Fu£k MS, seriously.

You despise them because of a court case? Feels like an overreaction.

Flawlessmic1224d ago

You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?

Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.

Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.

notachance1224d ago

Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.

thesoftware7301224d ago

Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?

Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.

porkChop1224d ago

What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.

giovonni1224d ago

I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.

PapaBop1224d ago

If only they put this much effort into actually making their own games.

BehindTheRows1224d ago

Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.

CobraKai1224d ago

I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

JL29301224d ago

Who told you Metroid is months away?

Obscure_Observer1224d ago

@Jin_Sakai

"I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point."

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!

NotoriousWhiz1224d ago (Edited 1224d ago )

You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.

Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.

BehindTheRows1224d ago

I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.

In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.

Focus401224d ago

Did Microsoft touch down there

RNTody1224d ago

My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.

MontyeKristo1224d ago

You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.

Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.

Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.

Get over yourself.

MEGANE1224d ago

This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.

jonny8971225d ago

Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.

Orchard1224d ago (Edited 1224d ago )

How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?

And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…

Stanjara1224d ago

Amm... Maybe Google it?

Orchard1224d ago

I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.

Hofstaderman1224d ago

Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs

Thundercat771225d ago

Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?

badz1491224d ago

Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.

FinalFantasyFanatic1224d ago

I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.

XiNatsuDragnel1225d ago

Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?

lodossrage1225d ago

They are, and they'll probably fight the subpoena just like Sony did.

You can now stream games from your Xbox to your iPhone

The latest version of the Xbox Beta app on iOS is here and includes one thing that xCloud can’t do – stream Xbox games to your iPhone. There is one catch though, you actually need to own an Xbox.

It's called Remote Play. Something Sony already did to allow games to be streamed to your phone. If Microsoft would have started here first with RP, would have been less problems for them than trying to go around another company's policies and cutting Apple out of their cut of the money on the platform they own.

Still no Xcloud.

headshotfrosty2090d ago

So has Xbox....just on Android. This is now on iDevices...That's the point here sir.

NeoGamer2322090d ago

Microsoft has had remote play for years.

Tacoboto2090d ago

No, Xbox Remote Play only started on Android during the Game Streaming beta earlier in the year.

But OP is still jaded - this has nothing to do with Apple's policies or Sony or even xCloud. Though he seems to fully endorse Apple's discrimination of gaming services when they don't apply those same restrictive policies onto other streaming platforms (Netflix, Hulu, etc)

2090d ago
GamerRN2090d ago (Edited 2090d ago )

@tacoboto

Remote Play has existed about year and a half... Maybe more

NeoGamer2322090d ago

@Tacoboto
I have streamed from my XB since late 2014 to my PC.

Tacoboto2090d ago

https://www.engadget.com/xb...

It only started on Android out of beta last week. The best I can find for PC is that it's officially in-home network only but there are ways to make it accessible over the internet through router changes, through the Xbox Companion App (never knew about this feature)
