Nice attitude by the way. If you knew anything about last gen you would know multiplats always looked worst on PS2. Check out any comparison on IGN or similar sites. RE4 is a great example.

Clarification:

RE4 is a great example because it pushed both consoles to their limits. For both games, Capcom had solid development teams working hard to deliver a good, polished product, and did so sequentially (ie did GameCube, then PS2, rather than both at the same time) which helped maximize resources.

You can't dismiss RE4 as a game that was rushed for one console, or one that failed to make use of their respective system.

When you get right down to it, when equivilent time and effort are spent on last gen systems, PS2 was, without question, the weakest.

So, you have not got any arguments anymore...

So, posting ONE comparising video... my best friend had a Gamecube and I also played Zelda and Need for Speed etc. But from the titles available on both console, I never saw one looking better on GC. But I congratulate, you have found one, probably this is the one known to EVERY Nintendo poster hier.

So you are all claiming that Wikipedia is wrong and you are right? OK...

You also think that the main buyers of Wii are people like you, and not the mother from the other side to of the road, or the girl just around the corner... Most of Wii owner have already a past in Console Gaming...???

@your atual point

Seriously... Gamecube stronger then PS2, this has been discussed to death, and it always ends with people posting specs and explaining to the technology challenged what those numbers mean in laymen's terms.

If anybody can show me graphics on GC like the one on Gran Turismo 4, I will ask for pardon...

Put to come back to the Wii, I think to the average Wii Joe is not here in the forum, go to Media Markt or other large Shops and look who is buying Wii and who is buying PS3 or XBOX360... do you agree on that at least?

The average buyer for any of the consoles is not on this forum, so the question as phrased doesn't mean a lot. We as members of video game forums are not indicative of the norms for any of the consoles - up to and including the PS3.
