Dude. Your crazy. I normally dont call things out, but this is far fetched. The Wii doubles the CPU from the GameCube (roughly) The 360 is roughly 15-20x faster than the x-box in CPU. The PS3 is roughly 40x faster than the PS2 in cpu. 15-20x and 40 is is ALOT more improvement in power than 2x. Learn basic math. The wii roughly doubles the graphics power... but not quite double. The Wii has about the same ammount of power as the x-box. The x-box 360 has roughly 16x faster graphics chip than the x-box. The PS3 has roughly a 25-30x faster graphics chip than the PS2. Less than 2x does not equal 16-30x. Once agian, this is VERY simple math. Ok, in terms of graphics. You are saying the Wii will have better looking games in 2 years than the PS3/360? The day the Wii does Gears of War level graphics... well, it would be pre-rendred. And since it is SD, it would have roughly 1/4th the detail. Even *IF* the Wii did a pre-rendered video. |
I know that the 360's graphics chip is more powerful than the PS3's, what I DIDN't know was that the PS2's was that slow. The PS2 pumped out some AMAZING visuals given it's graphical 'weakness.' |
360's chip is not more powerful. that is a flat out lie. the ps3 chip is more powerful, but thats when u take away the 360's ram benefit. the 360 chip is better under a completely distorted amount of shading and texture work (doesnt happen), while ps3 is better under a balance (doesnt happen either). the 360 chip is also better when the cpu isnt being used, but a dev wont not maximize the cpu to maximize the gpu. the case will happen where the gpu does get to use tons of ram, but not often.
in other words, count them as even.
