Can a PS2 handle all the games that are / can be developed on a Wii?

Hm so I want to ask something. If a wii game ever supported 720p would it look bad. It seems when a console doesn't have enough power to support higher resolutions they must degrade other things. So do you think the wii could still produce nice graphics at 720p? This is asking anybody who could answer my question.

Yes, nice graphics according to other Wii games. Don't expect 360-like results.

What about 360 games that aren't too taxing on the 360.

Call of duty 3

If not what about this Call of Duty 2

If it could do both show or tell me what you think would be the limit of what it can do.

View image to see it in the native resolution.

Yeah, those are possible too. Actually, both of them wouldn't be that hard to perform with a bit of optimization. What I mean is, look at Mario Galaxy. Its a quite shader-intensive game and it runs at 60fps without hiccups. It could afford to run at a higher resolution at half the framerate... or probably the same.

But don't expect things like Bioshock (or other games with top of the line visuals) plus 720p without some downgrading. The weak spot of the Wii's hardware is the size and bandwidth of it's RAM. It has around 1/5 the size and around 1/3 the bandwidth of the 360's.
