Key Weakness of the Wii - Graphic Capabilites?

[facher83]

Hehe. GameCube was standing next to XBox in certain strides, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but by tech experts they were seriously in a dead heat and tie for actual performance on screen.


I'll bet it's the name issue. If we were discussing XBox graphics power we wouldn't be using a 1.5x as powerful analogy. Instead, we're using some sort of GameCube1.5 analogy.


Let's realistically assume:
GameCube = XBox potential.

Therefore, Wii = 1.5 XBox's.

That said, even though probably more like 3 XBox's, the entire tone of the conversation would change. All one with the attempt to belittle "Wii power" is to mention GameCube, and they feel so good about it. But, read up any real graphics reports, and GameCube wasn't exactly behind.... if not ahead in a few key areas, but lacking a few others.

So, while looking back on GameCube as the Wii, it's easy to dismiss the fact that Wii blows the snot out of PS2's power and blows XBox pretty well out of the ballpark. But, you can just ignore that, and, ya know, troll.
