I agree with this..it is more powerful, but I havnt seen anything on the wii better than gt4 on the ps2 we just have to wait and see if they prove us wrong with some visually amazing game on the wii
I don't think you can find those kind of graphics on the Wii yet.
People really need to stop showing racing games to prove their point. Almost EVERY racing sim is in an enclosed environment compared to other genres. The Wii has yet to have a good racing sim to compare, so we don't know what could be pulled off.
As for God of War 2, the game uses pre-rendered environments, and a distant camera view, not very impressive from a technical aspect. There are GC games more taxing than it.
All I have to list one game, and you can see that from a techincal aspect it is superior to anything on PS2. There are many others as well, though I don't want to derail the thread by listing them all in one post.
The PS2 cannot do full normal maps, most other shading effects, nor pull of textures as detailed when having fully rendered environments as Super Mario Galaxy.
Like I noted before, it takes much less power to make better graphics in a Racing simulation than a game from most other genres. The only thing that seems remotely comparable is Light Gun Shooters, and we all know how good Darkside Chronicles looks. So yes, Grand Turismo 4 has more realistic graphics than Super Mario Galaxy, but it isn't the more taxing game from a technical aspect. If we were to compare GT4 to a Wii game it would have to be a similar styled racing game, and unfortunately the Wii doesn't have any non-shovelware games that fit the description.

Well I think you answered the question of the thread.
