Could Nintendo's next home console entice the early adopters/graphic whores?

[The 1 2 P]

I'm still not sold on this things graphics being that much better than the PS3's and 360's currently are. And even if the FU....er, Wii U's graphics were a tad bit better, true graphics whores(if such a thing exist) would wait for the inevitable new Sony and Microsoft systems(respectively) since they will assuredly push the graphical output higher than whatever Nintendo has planned for next year.

And to comment on the hard drive issue, why won't Nintendo just go with a normal hd as opposed to using flash memory? From my understanding the cost of internal hard drives has gone down significantly since this gen started six years ago so it's not like it would be that costly for Nintendo to add atleast a 120 gig hard drive to each system. Perhaps they are just waiting to reveal this at a later date.
