SORIKU. For the love of god, stop bumping topics.

Also, when was it that the GCN was suddenly getting high-end graphics games and the PS2 was getting low-end ones?

Unless I'm mistaken, there was a decent gap between the GCN and Xbox as far as graphics capabilities went.

 You should stop typing "bump" in topics.  I've told you this before.

You keep "bumping" topics, I'm guessing, because they're no longer on the frontpage.

I've got quite a few topics of my own that get shoved off the frontpage...I don't just type "bump" to get it back up there...we've all got threads of our own that we'd like to see get popular...you don't force that on people though.  If people aren't posting in your thread...too bad.  Don't keep bumping your topics by saying "bump"...at least try to add to the conversation.

This is like the third time I've had to explain this to you.

 You are mistaken. There was virtualy no gap in graphical power between those two consoles. Many have argued over which one was more powerful and none have come to a solid conclusion.

Timesplitters came first out on PS2, and looked the same on the other systems when they brought TS:2 to the other systems. Plus the xbox had way better graphics then the GC and PS2, and so far the wii has not even had games with the same level of graphics as the xbox, plus i went and played some of the original games for the GC the other day and they look pretty much the same as the wii games. Plus the 360/PS3 are so far ahead of what the wii can do it is not even funny. The wii is closer to last gens specs then this gens.

 Do you ever have anything constructive to say?

Isn't this kinda obvious and boring?

Also, I didn't really notice much difference in the graphics of xBox/PS2/GC, as far as I am concerned they're very easily matched. The only one that was really noticeably less good was the Dreamcast :P

Right ...

If you made a list of the most technically impressive games of the last generation a large portion of them would be Gamecube games (Rogue Squdren 2 & 3, and Resident Evil 4 as examples)

The Gamecube and XBox were vastly different architectures produced using vastly different design principles which gave them very different strenghts and weaknesses; Nintendo's approach was to produce the highest processing power at the lowest manufacturing cost (easy to develop for) gaming machine, whereas Microsoft's approach was to produce a powerful PC. The end result of this was there were things that the XBox could do that the Gamecube couldn't, and vice versa.

The myth that the Gamecube was (dramatically) less powerful than the XBox (and sometimes argued as the PS2) comes from the fact that the Gamecube was less expensive and most developers did not design towards the Gamecube's architecture; the PS2 had the massive userbase which made sure developers knew its hardware and the XBox used the same architecture as a PC whereas the Gamecube had neither of these benefits.

The GC was a great console, and if the wii follows up with the great level that Nintendo put into that system the wii will do great but so far nothing is that far ahead. Their are tons of tricks that delvelopers could put into their games to make them look great it's just a matter of effort put into games, when Nintendo can toss anything onto the DS and its sells like crack to junkies they have no will to even try this gen and they can still make lots of cash, just look at the DS games coming out in japan, they are not normal NA type game, some of them just seem like crap versions of free software i can download onto my computer, and maybe we should include Microsoft office into the charts if DS games like My Household Budget Diary and Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day are counted.

The developers of Scarface: The World Is Yours have said that the Wii version of the game looks a bit better than the XBox version, and it does look quite nice (excellent lighting and draw distance). Not nearly in the league of an XBox 360 game, obviously, but the horsepower justifies bracketing the Wii into the low end of the current generation.
