| Played_Out said: I'm surprised everyone has remained so civil. Well done all. The answer is obviously no. It is not technically possible for the wii to have graphics anywhere near the quality of COD4. The difference in pixel-pushing power between the wii and the PS360 is far, FAR greater than that between PS2 and Wii. You won't even see as big a leap between early wii games and late wii games as you did with the PS2. Like it's successor, the PS3, the PS2 embodied a "performance over programmability" ethos, and it therefore took many years for programmers to take advantage of its complex architecture. In hardware terms, the wii is very similar to the gamecube, so expect to see similar graphical advancements between games at the start and end of the generation as you did with the GC. |

Another reason you will see very little change, is because the reasons large advancements are made on consoles over time, is developers learn how to code for the platform. The Wii is architecturally the same as the GameCube, just a little faster. So, the reason it is even able to compete at the level it does, is from a development point of view, the architecture is mature.
So as time goes on, some small tweaks here and there can be made to allow games some better visuals, but don't expect the same leap you will see on the 360, and more so on the PS3 (as the PS3 is completely new to the gaming world)
