"If I wan't graphics I'll play monopoly. If I want fun I'll play my Super Nintendo. It makes sense look it up." -Moldy Toaster from youtube.

I couldn't have said it better, lol



I have to agree. We have beaten this horse to pulp long ago. These people act like they have stumbled upon some great unsolved mystery. It has never been a secret that the Wii was underpowered when compared to the 360 or PS3. Why this guy seems to have just found this out is beyond me. I think what irritates me most about this guy is that at the end of the article he doesn't give the Wii any credit for being a solid gaming machine. He credits the Wiis success totaly to Nintendos skill at smoke and mirrors. I think his attitude is exactly what is wrong with gaming today. Game developers spend more time trying to make games look pretty, than they do trying to make them fun. My kids had a sleepover the other night. I didn't get any sleep because at 3 in the morning they discovered Tecmo Bowl. Now how low tech is that?

Omg!!

This article uses the most infamous argument: "Will the Wii continue to do as well once the Xbox 360 or the PS3 approaches the $200 barrier?"

The fact is - they don't! Is it so hard to see?

 And people doubted me =P

Sony said PS3 was 35 times more powerful than PS2. Yeah right.


Well that's not hard to do... ask the Xbox and the Gamecube

Microsoft also said before 360's release that it was 10 times more powerful than Xbox.

I actually remember that in 360's official site said it was 4 times more powerful than Xbox. That was at launch, it doesn't says anymore.


 

hmmmm, i always thought that the PS2 looked better than the Gamecube. Im not into hardware specs, but I didn't find anything on Gamecube that looked as good as God of War 2 or Shadow of Colosus.

 More popular system = more developers spending more time, more effort, and more money to make games with MOAR GRAFX.  The Gamecube was more powerful, this is not in serious doubt at all.  


Gotta agree with this. Compare Gc's launch games especially Waverace or Rogue Squadron II against any Ps2 launch games...

And then compare games at end of the consoles lifeline.

This is where it can be seen.



Nothing's cheaper than something free.

F1 vs FOTA, when too much power is in couple peoples hands.

I would guess the PS2 and Xbox 1 could do games like SSMB and mario galaxy

 You definitely guessed wrong then.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Uh, well maybe SSMB...but then again Super Smash Mothers Brawl was kind of a lame game...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I know right.  I mean getting Bentendo's LAH LABs to make it was the worst decision they made.  Although, Maria's flaming potroast surprise attack was pretty awesome...

Xbox 1 could probably pull off those games with a good team and enough development time. But why does this matter?

I have yet to hear anyone say they bought a Wii to get pretty graphics.
