With screenshots of Sonic Unleashed rumoured to be for the Wii ( I must admit if they are Wii screenshot's that is pretty impressive) Nintnedo supporters have become increasingly confident in the Wii ability to display next gen graphics , one even claiming that the Wii was being used as the lead platform for Sonic Unleashed.

 If this where true however , this could become a trend for multiplatform games (prays it's not so) , if this happen i'd proly stop buying multiplatform titles all together. I'm taking the quote slightly out of context because he said it was possible because the game was more cartoony , regardless of the artistic style the PS3 and 360 are still capable of superior visuals.

 To make it clear to everyone (including myself) could anyone with the knowledge explain how big the gap between the Wii and PS3/360 is , some are making it seem like it's similar to the gap betwen the GC/XBOX and ps2 when it clearly isn't.

If simply having the Wii as a lead platform means that you will never buy new games ... That's quite the shallow opinion.

Please quote such people... don't go around saying things about other users if you cant back it up.

I'll never buy multi-platform games , unless the Wii being lead platform doesn't hinder the quality of PS3/360 titles.

 @tresters , happy ?

"Because of the additional processing power requirements to display HD graphics it is reasonable to say that the difference in processing power from the PS2 to the Wii is similar to the difference in processing power from the Wii to the PS3/XBox 360."

"The Gamecube and XBox would have been 1.5 to 2 times as powerful as the PS2, and the Wii is (at least) twice as powerful as the Gamecube and yet developers used the PS2 as the base to produce many Wii games; on top of this XBox 360 and PS3 games are required to display at HD resolutions which (believe it or not) uses additional processing power."

" The GC and XBox weren't only slightly better than the PS2. The PS2 was ridiculously weak in comparison to either of them, but it had the most market share so it had the most games and was the lead dev console. The Wii's just replacing it in every way."

He is probably refering to my comment that the difference between the PS2 and the Wii was similar to the difference between the Wii and the XBox 360/PS3; which I stand by and think is fair ...

@HappySquirrel and your wrong.

what a well though out argument ...

Ok thanks, if u ever say something back it up with fact, you may upset people.

Did younot enjoy the PS2? Did you not enjoy the PS2 ports to the Gamecube/ XBox? They all worked fine... even though they were coming from a much weaker console. What's wrong with getting your games ported from the wii to the PS360? If they're still upgraded Graphics wise, (Which GC and XB games were) then I don't see any problem.

(In other words, I agree with Rubang)
