I think we can stop this thread. Two things are obvious, the Wii is more powerful than the GC but it is much nearer to the last-gen competitors than to the 360/PS3. This can be seen in its specs and in the games that are available. Nobody with eyes can argue against that.

You can't base a system's power on the games available. You have to base it on the ones that specifically push a system. Only a couple games on the Wii really push the system. 

Now I don't mean pushing it to its limits. That takes a few years. But it does mean that we don't really have that many practical indications of the system's power yet.


This also answers the "Could DMC4 be ported" question. Of course it could but it would look much more like DMC3 than DMC4/PS3,360.

I'm calling the "much more" part. The PS2 doesn't have texture compression. The Wii not only can compress textures, it can run them at a higher resolution. It can aslo do more objects in a scene and at a larger draw distance.

If somebody buys the Wii because of its graphics or processing power or features he picked the wrong console anyway. Nintendo really did concentrate on different things this time. And they are successful beyond believe. Personally I don't understand it, but apparently I am not in the target group.


The Wii is not in a graphical league with the PS2. It has a lot more memory, and is a lot more powerful. You can deny it, but you'd be wrong.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
