| Stever89 said: First, @WoW - Which is WoW (interesting, same initials)? I would say the second one looks better. @Those posting specs of consoles, Sony and Microsoft have, at least, given out initial specs for their consoles. Whether or not those are the same specs as the ones that made it into the final product, I do not know. Nintendo has neither confirmed nor denied the specs in the Wii, nor has ATI or whoever else made components for the Wii. Also, looking at two processors (for example) and looking at just clock speed is not painting the whole picture. Cache, BUS Speeds, etc all play a part in how fast the processor is, how efficient it runs, etc, etc. Also, a processor developed nearly 8 years ago (or more) would be a lot less efficient than a processor developed 2 or 3 years ago, so even if the speeds were identical, the newer processor would be able to handle processes easier. Not to mention improvements in other things (chip sizes and such). @everyone: I really hate these topics. When people say the Wii can handle decent graphics, which is usually anything above what the PS2 had, then 360/PS3 fanboys come in and start asking "I thought graphics didn't matter?" Then the Wii fanboys come in and start saying that the Wii is able to produce graphics that are much better than the PS2's graphics. Then the PS3/360 fanboys start saying how the Wii couldn't match the graphics of the PS3/360, then the Wii fanboys come back by saying that graphics don't have to be at the level of PS3/360 games to have "good graphics," then somewhere in there it's assumed by 360/PS3 fanboys that the Wii fanboys are saying the Wii can handle PS3/360 level graphics, while at the same time the Wii fanboys assume that the PS3/360 fanboys are saying that the Wii can't even do graphics much better than the PS2 graphics. Then, the thread is locked. I agree that the Wii is probably in the middle range between the PS2 level graphics, and the PS3/360 level graphics. All the picture comparisons, spec comparisons, and assumptions will never settle this debate, because no one can be unbiased enough to do so. Also, PS2 pictures from the end of the generation aren't fair comparisons to beginning of the generation Wii graphics, because they figure ways to optimize the hardware to squeeze out every ounce of performance. As for the Wii hardware, though similar to the GC hardware, was never pushed like the PS2 hardware, since many developers never developed exclusively for it or did it enough to find the best ways to optimize the hardware. Try looking at early to late 2001 PS2 pictures to see how far they've come on the PS2, and then show how that could be similar to what happens to the Wii games, along with PS3 and 360 games, which will all have much improvements in performance. My two cents... Now continue... |
Ok the second one's a flamebait ( sorry couldn't help myself ) , but please agree with the first one.
