because the difference between the PS2 and Wii is similar to the difference between the Wii and the PS3. |
Technicaly ? Saleswise ? No . |
Technicaly. Yes. The wii is about 4-5 times more powerful than the ps2, and the ps3 is the same times more powerful than the wii. I am going to post this again so I could get your attention. http://malstrom.50webs.com/birdman.html |
If your talking about theoretical power then maybe ( even though I'd still be doughtfull of the Wii being theoreticaly 4-5 time more powerfull the the PS2) in practice many Wii games have PS2 and in some cases sub ps2 graphics. Mainly 1st party titles exceed PS2 but not 4-5 times as much. |
Well it's early in the Wii's life , and they still didn't push it. The gc was at least 1.5 times more powerful doing things like real time lighting, and shaders the ps2 couldn't do. The Wii has alot more pontential then what people are giving it. They judge it graphically based off it's worse games rather then it's best(for now). Everybody thought the gamecube was pushed it's first year too, but then re4,mp3,sfa,etc came. THe wii's ram has more bandwidth, less latency, and there is more of it. It's cache is 8 times the ps2,gc,xbox, and it's processor is about 3 times, by just comparing clock speed to the ps2. The gpu is capable of alot more than the ps2 , and gc, and slightly more so than the xbox. Let's also not for get how efficient the wii is compared to them. I could see alot of high end wii graphics comparable to low end 360 graphics(First Year) I'm not saying all btw. ONly some. READ http://malstrom.50webs.com/birdman.html |
That's interesting but still beside the main point , my argument is that there is no point in a direct comparison as they are not direct competitors , wether the PS2 or Wii is similar or very different in graphical capability isn't a concern , a large % of The consumer doesn't understand peak theoretical capabilities , only what's before them and that's something slightly better than the PS2 ( at least in this moment in time) I'd go as far as to saying that Wii owners don't really care about gfx, at least not to the extent that PS3/360 owners do , only PSWii Wii60 owners are likely to care but they represent only part of the Wii userbase.

If you are talking about the article. That is what proves you wrong. Nintendo is targetting EVERYBODY. They are using the blue ocean strategy, and disruption. They start on the bottom, casuals, to get a large userbase, then they increase to more , and more hardcore until they have games targeted to everyone. These are all game consoles so they all have the right to compete with eachother. If you are talking about what I said on graphical performance, I agree most wii owners don't care about graphics, but you said that you doubted the difference between the wii and ps2, was similar to the wii , and ps3, and I responded. |
I stil ldought the difference betwen the Wii and PS2 is similar to Wii and PS3 but I may have confused myself into saying that was on a technical basis , it's not , sorry. Nintnedo targeting everybody doesn't put them in the same market as PS3, 360 . Ford Target everyone , Apple target everyone it's how mass market orientated business work but I still wouldn't compare Ford and Ferrari in the same market simply because Ford sell to everyone. |
What the hell are you talking about? Does Ford only make one type of automobile targetting everyone from poor to rich class? No, they make a variety of models, same with Ferrari. Both Sony and Nintendo target the same group, everyone and anyone who can use their products. When in the hell did people get the idea that Sony was out to target the elite media lovingh techphiles only? Did they do that with the PS2? You think Sony is happy that the mass market aren't buying their consoles as much as the Wii? |
