this is the full-power of 3DS

but sucks that today's 3ds game do not use it's full-power yet

Marko 'Samurai' Saaresto :D

The vita has yet to use some of the 1ghz of cpu head room and unlock the 4th core for game use and yet killzone mercenary looks like a later ps3 game. What does this mean for 3ds? Im worried for 3ds

[keubibo]

3DS need more game witch Graphic like that :D

[MetatroN197924]

same falsentendo as always bring me memories of ultra 64 silicon graphics fiasco lol

Luigi's Mansion:Dark Moon

Best looking 3DS game. EVER.

[Patrick Mair]

one fact is the PS1 controller looks like a PS3 controller in grey. And every Notebook is square and has a touchpad.

[Patrick Mair]

Just like the Playstation, Playstation 2 and the PS3 are all playstations.

[TheMilMe]

No, this doesn't really showcase the abilities of the 3DS. This video was rendered at a much higher resolution than that of the 3DS, so the 3DS could in theory even have better graphics; just with a lower resolution.

[Michael Norris]

Os and sound is used on one core.Not sure wheir you read it uses a core for sound and one for OS.A9 cortex per core runs circles around the old arm11

[Michael Norris]

Umm your wrong devs get 3 cores not 2 lets also not forget that the Vita uses a A9 Cortex 4 core its much more powerful then the Dual arm11's used in 3ds.

[Hairee Stener]

The 3DS has a dedicated Audio DSP core along side it's ARM cores to render the sound. The Vita has no Audio DSP but instead one of the 4 ARM cores is reserved for audio processing and another reserved to run the operating system so developers only get access to 2 of the Vita's 4 cores for running game logic.
