Imagine, if you will, a day when the graphic capabilities of the video-game system has come to its maximum. The day of the PS13, Xbox Infinity, and Nintendo Whatever. A day when the graphics of said system are on par with the realest of real. When you can hardly tell the difference between a polygonal character and a real life human-being. Where do we go from there?

It seems that the graphics of any given system is always the indication of its rank among other systems. What happens to that ranking system when graphics can no longer be quadrupled over the previous generation? Will game-play then take the front position of what makes a system truly "next-gen"? Or will it be the ability to produce realistic physics and the like? This may be a long ways away but while sitting on the crapper, it dawned on me. What will the future hold when this day comes? You can't get more realistic then real-life and that day in gaming will eventually come to fruition.

So when that day comes, however long it may be, will we ask ourselves "What system has the most revolutionary gameplay?" or "Which console has the best physics simulation.."?

Who knows... maybe when that day comes the Phantom will be out.
