Some funny replies, it would not kill some of you to simply accept that wiis hardware is weak and its graphics wont ever amaze anyone.

I don't know about you Blue3, but personally, all the graphics we can do today amaze me. I come from originally playing Atari 2600 when I got into gaming. The graphics we accomplish today astound me. And just personally, the last generation of gaming consoles, hit a level of graphics that I just don't care if they get any better. They are amazing enough as it is.

Of everything said in this thread, this is what I agree/care about the most. All graphics these days are now "amazing" - its all about a good developer putting a lot of time into a game, rather than having funkier hardware to drive.

What mattes is what developers can get out of the Wii (and from the looks of it - its going to be a LOT), not some pissing match between imaginary "performance" stats between the Wii (a current-gen console, that is selling well) and the Xbox (an obsolete console, that no one is supporting).

 

 

 

 There should not even be a comparison between the 2.  I enjoy the things that PS3, 360, and new PCs can do.  I appreciate what art design can do (Okami, Odin Sphere, Ico, etc), but the more powerful the system the more you can do.
