Um, it would look like the PS2 games, or more advanced. Vice City Stories had the best graphics, given that it came out last, so a GTA game made for the Wii (if not directly ported) would have that look minimum.

Now that you've wiggled your way into a more managable hypocrasy, the fun is gone, so I'll leave it at that. Besides that, I've realized you're totally right!

Yes, you're right, I was a fool! You are being completely fair to the Wii. We should all be in awe of GTAIV's impressive sales. The developers themselves being dissapointed just means they must be idiot-savants. Great at development, sucky at sales comparison. We all must realize that only Mario-Boys want to play Galaxy. A real 360 gamer, like me, wouldn't waste their time on crap like that. Pfft, LBP? Baby stuff. Won't sell a million copies. It's based off Mario, afterall. Only Mario boys like Mario, and all Mario boys have a Wii, or it wouldn't sell like it does. When Mario boys run out, Wii will die.

I have seen the light. You're dead on.

No game has sold more than GTAIV this generation on PSWii60, except bundled games, which I don't think should count, nor should handheld, PS2, or PC games count, because if they did, my statement wouldn't hold true. That's the most impressive thing I've ever heard about a game that sold 20 million last gen, but cost more to develop this time, and sold half as well.

Um.  That would need an engine underneath built to roughly that scale of HW.  The engine under GTA IV is clearly way different and would need a lot of changes on Wii.  Look at the amount of detail around the city, the density of activity, etc.  There's more to porting an engine like this that simply reducing number of cars/people or lowering texture resolution.

Have you compared the PS2 version's to GTA IV?  They look like night and day to me in terms of detail and realism.

Seriously, it was a one liner offhanded comment that you blew out of proportion, the man clearly stated 'this gen', the key word here is 'gen', which colloquially speaking is often use to describe home consoles, the current being the seventh gen, which includes wii/ps3/360.

Whether his statement is correct or not can be debatable, but your attack on the technicality of a word used here in fair context is just silly.

Either this is a dummy account, or this poster picked a hell of a thing to join in for. If the latter, that was not an offhand comment. That user makes comments like that all the time, and treats them as gospel, no matter how the facts or reason prove them wrong.

Not only that, he defended his comment fiercely, despite being shown that it was obviously incorrect. Quantifying it after it was posted is something you do when you just don't want others to tell you, you were wrong. The correct thing for him to do was to say, "Oops, my statement was incorrect." Not move the goalposts, and act like games that don't fit with his statement dont' count for whatever reason, and we should have known that previously.

If the joke account guy wants to defend someone, he should follow me around, there are plenty of embellishing fanboys who need defending, but don't deserve it, that could use his services.

Not a dummy account, I'm from Australia btw : )

I'm merely pointing out that he made a one liner that is used here in correct context (the current gen = wii/ps3/360). I have no idea if GTA4 is the most successful game in term of sale or not nor do I really care, but at least criticise someone for something legitimate (eg: you are wrong because Guitar Hero is the most successful game release in the current gen - again no idea just an example) instead of over analyzing a statement that have so many different interpretation with one of which supporting his view.

Anyways, since I am new here, there is no way I can know that one liner comments like that could be gospel material, I bow to common sense and it obviously failed here if what you said is true. Cheers

edit: Wait isn't Wii Play more successfull anyways? Please correct if I'm wrong.
