Carmack: Nintendo 'owns' Wii software

[sc94597]

@Xen While most games do look worse than the BEST original xbox. That is more due to laziness of the developers. I'm sure we haven't seen the limit of the WIi yet, since consoles don't reach their limit until way at the end of a generation, and this is even more true since the only developers really pushing it graphically are Nintendo for now. I'll tell you what though. I bet super mario galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3 cannot run on any of the last generations in their current state, at anywhere close to the same framerate. Also the Wii graphics will impress you less than the Xbox's graphics because they were new then. The wii's graphics aren't really new. Its really art design I care about anyway, and actually think Metroid Prime 3 is one of the best looking games this generation despite it not being technically impressive compared to the HD console offerings.
