I hardly believe you NEED it to be significantly more powerful. It's not gonna hurt your eyes if you play a game that looks as good as a PS3 game. You probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I stopped seeing the difference in graphics when RE4 released on the GCN, and once people stop thinking graphics are important and gameplay is key, we may be able to revert back to the great thing Gaming was before it became saturated with HD.
Thank you! I've been saying this in other places but it's always ignored. This shouldn't even be an issue anymore with game consoles including the 3DS. Focus should be on gameplay which is all dependent on developers.
