Nintendo is not convinced that PS4 and next Xbox will offer a true graphical leap



That's right, Iwata said next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft may not provide a significant generational leap that consumers are accustomed to,

In a recent interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, he detailed his doubts over the PlayStation 4 and the next-gen Xbox.

According to him, these may not provide a significant generational leap that consumers are accustomed to.

"If they decide to increase the spec numbers, will the consumers be able to realise the difference enough so that they can understand it's much superior to today's machine".
He added that -if indeed PS4 and Xbox 720 are going to be significantly more powerful than their predecessors-, developers will struggle:

"If they beef up the processing power, that simply means much more work for software developers to take advantage of those spec numbers. So I have to ask the question if that type of differentiation really makes sense.

He added: "I think further arguments must wait until probably next year, when they have finalised and disclosed whatever they are thinking about for the next generation of consoles."
