Sony is focusing on gameplay while Nintendo is focusing on graphics.
deal w/ it
I dunno, with more powerful platform, you have devs concentrate a lot of energy on the graphics, in order to take advantage of all the power + not be outshined by competition. Though I agree, theoretically, with more power, you can have more going on.
As for the 3ds comment. o_O I think everyone saw that the 3DS would be less powerful than the PSP2. But I don't think that Nintendo has ever taken graphics over gameplay... And plus the Sony conference spent a lot of time showing off the graphical capabitily of the NGP and very little on actual gameplay innovation. Sure they had the rear touch screen, but I have a feeling it'll be a nightmare accuracy wise >.>

That's because it had the power of Operah and $500 million in ads and pr backing it up. If anything, the kinect emulated what nintendo did with the Wii, and what they'll probably do again with the 3DS.
Overall, you have an exact repeat of the previous generation. A lesser machine with an added gimmick (which then became a gameplay innovation) versus an extremely (relatively) powerful machine.
This generation, you have a lesser machine with an added gimmick (and who knows what sort of magics Nintendo will throw out that would make 3D somehow become integral to gameplay, of course, if they will at all) versus an extremely powerful machine that has adopted handheld norms (a touchscreen). The mass market is going to eat up the glasessless 3D no matter what, and in this day and age, that almost automatically means you win the "console war"
We all know what happened to the PSP last gen... As for the pricing issue, I'm assuming it's going to be $275-350, and if I were to give it a solid price, probably $299.99. I also don't see the battery life being anything longer than 5 hours.
Try harder Sony, and try to get your ads right again. That one was horrendous.
