Yeah, and you're arguing that the PS2 game looks better technically.  


The faces look better, is no arguing it.  If you want to switch this to a technical argument then XCX looks bad compared to everything on PS4 and Xbone, because those consoles games "have many, many more polygons and higher resolution textures."  But that wasn't my point, only the eventual outcome of yours.

Art style goes a long way towards making a game look good and XCX characters have a terrible one, in my example worse than even a PS2 game.  A game in the same genre and which XC was often compared to, so a very fair comparison.

We have reports of wii u games using up to 8k textures (the highest quality today). so even if the standard for wii u is 4k textures, it's just a tie against other games. about polygons, on gen 5, 1k polygons was huge for a character, then gen 6 had 15-20k polygons on the best 3d models. gen 7 only had around 30k polygons on the best characters because polygons reached diminishing returns. So ps4 xone games don't have "many many many" more polygons than anything on wii u. the main cause for graphical difference today is due to visual effects (lightining, mapping), those can be discussed.
