Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony cry: Wii is Just "Impulse Purchase"

Holy crap, are you honestly claiming that PS2 is more powerful than Gamecube? If so, you're one of the most delusional people I've ever seen on the entire Internet. Holy crap.

Hmmm. From the article: Meanwhile Eggebrecht comments: "The area that Gamecube is similar to PS2 but just plain kills it is in textures and hardware lights. There is simply no comparison. So you get similar polygon counts on GC as you have on PS2, but with these incredible amounts of texture effects on top. Just imagine a textured, bump-mapped, reflecting and accurately glossy and dirty car with specular highlights thrown in - that's just one pass for Gamecube but many for PS2. And of course there is the Gamecube texture decompression thrown in for free, something the PS2 doesn't have at all."



I'm just going to assume Kwaad thinks a register is just the thing he puts money into at walgreens......errr......used to put money in....

"Why do they call it the xbox 360? Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away" 

Kwaad's a troll, stop feeding him. Isn't an "Impulse purchase" a purchase people make on impulse? Wouldn't that require the system to be in stock so people walking by could say "hey look, a Wii... I think I'll buy one!" It's not really an impulse purchase if you've already called all the stores in your area, driven out and lined up to wait for it.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Essentially the article you linked says that the processor power is about even, with the exception of the gamecube being significantly easier to program for, and the gamecube has a easier to use graphical setup that supports higher texture quality than the PS2.

 I wondered that at to.
