While I think the Wii can make some lovely GFX in it's own right, a couple of points:

* Those oblivion shots are very suspect. The game looks downright stunning in 'reality' and quite a bit better than what those shots look like. Seems like someone took part of the screen and blew it up or something. (True, it has some less stellar bits, but the pretty parts are *very* pretty)

* I'm not overly impressed by the Zelda / Metroid / Super Mario shots even so. Yes, there's nice GFX on them but they're obviously lower res.

This is not to say they don't look nice, it's just that the other next-gen consoles GFX looks -quite clearly in almost all cases and that does include Oblivion- much nicer than even that.

But it's ok really. The Wii has graphics that are good enough. It's draw to me never was GFX to begin with and I suspect that goes for most Wii owners. Lack of pretty GFX don't stop me from loving Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Wii Sports, etc.

Edit:

I figured out whats 'wrong' about the Xbox 360 shots. Somehow my browser only shows the left part of them so it looks really odd, I miss about 30-40% of the pictures (they are there completely but I had to manually click 'show image' to see them).

Anyway, looking at these screens properly (i.e. full screen for a picture not as inline) you can clearly see the Xbox 360 shots look quite a bit better than the Wii ones. Don't forget that what these screenshots show is in fact what you'll see as a full screen on your TV when playing.

LMAO I literally Laughed Out Loud,

1: These pics are not edited in the slightest.

2: By saying '1'^ You just admit the Wii screens look better then the 360 screens.

3. I'm not entirely sure your even serious your post was that pathetic.

4. I can't stop laughing, thankyou, you have made my night :)

5. I have reported you once before which resulted in a warning to you, and I shall do so again, likely resulting in a ban, so when you learn you can not post replies or whatever else comes with being banned, think of me.

As long as companies can keep making unique and great art styles, I don't see the Wii ever having a problem graphically.

realistic graphics will always look dated on the Wii, but if companies focus more on style (games like Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, No More Heroes etc), I don't see the Wii ever looking dated.

That's just me though, I'm someone who much prefers art styles and quirky graphics ahead of realism. I'm probably in the minority for that on this forum, but I'm yet to see one Wii owner 'reject' the SMG graphics so I think that's the way forward.

Why do some people insist on trying to say the Wii can keep up with the 360 and PS3 in terms of graphics. Simple fact of the matter is, it can't. It's very very clear in those screen shots that the PS3 and 360 games look better. But that's not the point of the Wii. Focus on the positives of the system.

I'm not saying the Wii is a bad system. It's not. It can do things the others can't. It will just never be better than the 360 and PS3 in terms of graphics. 

I love showing up to discover a full set of moderator jobs waiting for me. 

I went and found my own images, 360 VS wii.

As Jammy is saying, there is more to graphics than technical capability. You can make games look great without having a ton of fill rate and a ton of memory. That said, the Wii *does not* have the ability to compete with the PS3 and 360 in terms of fill rate, texture detail, overall memory usage, etc. That's just a fact of life -- games have more to work with if they're on PS3/360 hardware. Technically, the 360 has the most fill rate, most available memory for development, and the most general purpose CPU power. The PS3 has the most storage space on disc, but this can be mitigated with multiple discs as we've seen in the past.

The clearest reasons the Wii won't compete graphically is because it doesn't have the fill rate or memory. It has less than 100MB of total memory. It just can't draw the same level of detail on the screen that the 360 and PS3 can.

That doesn't mean that many people -- people uninterested in technical specifics and people with

 Nahh your next.  Sarcastic pricks are not in high demand.

I grabbed the screens from gamespots 'Top 10' 360 games, would you rather I looked for worse games? oh Gears of War is missing damn...? I never said Wii could do as good or better then the 360, how about reading what I had to say on my first post before calling me a troll.

You are officially now my favourite user, I literally had a drink to that.
