Why does it matter if Wii U games dont look as good as others?

As for ps2 it had some fine graphics. Don't forget it had a version of Gran Turismo at 1920x1080i resolution. It also had 32bit colour not 24bit like Gamecube. I think the rules change on handhelds because superior graphics often come at the expense of battery life.

It did have some fine looking games, but its shading capabilities were archaic compared to the competition. Rogue Squadron 2 and Halo 1, launch titles for Xbox and Gamecube, pulled off a host of effects that PS2 simply could not handle. Real world polygon count was inferior on PS2 also, as was texturing due its lack of hardware texture decompression.

Tons of GCN/Xbox games were well out of PS2's league technically; Rogue Squadron 1 & 2, Halo 1 & 2, Conker, Starfox Adventures, Doom 3, Riddick...
