that extra $100-$150 to see Wii's graphics on par atleast with the 360? So the total value of the Wii would range from $350-$400. That whole Bioshock topic got me thinking, what if the Wii did have better graphics ya know?

I sure would.

Of course gameplay is better than graphics. Most Wii owners agree with that... it's really something we're forced to agree on with the Wii. I know Wii's got potential with graphics seeing Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl coming out. Also to be honest, Prime 3 graphics has improved, but I just don't see much of a change-- call me blind or whatever, I don't care.

Point is, we're going to be missing out on some good games like GTA IV. And because of the Wii graphics, we're getting some games much later like Starwars Force Unleashed. I'm pretty sure if the Wii was capable of 360's graphics we would see a much earlier release date.

Like I said, I would love to fork over that extra $100 for updated graphics. C'mon guys, Bioshock for the Wii? Now that'd be awesome! With updated graphics, we wouldn't laugh at the people asking if we're ever gunna see a GTA IV or a Bioshock for the Wii. It'd be a possibility!

Here you go.

Now you can see the difference even with your poor vision.

No. $300+ is too expensive for a video game console.

What is the need to want to change the console that's tops right now?

Is it the best selling console? Yes it is Jason

Does it have the largest number of third party devs jumping on board? Yes it does Jason

Is it a viable console for every single person in the world because they can find games no matter what their level of gaming is? Yes it is Jason

If the thing isn't broken what is the never ending talk of making it different?

"Hey that WHEEL you have there looks good but what happens if we make one side flat? Well how about it?"

If it was more expensive it wouldn't sell as well, devs wouldn't jump on board at the rate they are, and it wouldn't be where it is today.

I'm pretty sure a decent PC would be much more than $400 if you're going to play games on it.

A hundred bucks for updated graphics? Sign me up! I wouldn't mind seeing the Wii graphics enhance a bit, but of course that's not reality :)

i would defintely pay for it. yeah know gameplay is more important but graphics do help. if your going to play a game for over 50 hours you dont want to look at something ugly.the wii updated would need to keep its wii control and should have an optional shell just to act as a wireless type gamecube controller so dev. could realize that they dont need to use the wiimote style for every game (like smash).

No I wouldn't. Instead I would save up some more money and get a X360. Then I can play the platformer games from the 360 and the platformers from Wii. The games that cross the boundries and play on both I would determine if it would be worth the control bonuses to play it on the Wii, otherwise I would play it on the 360. Chances are though if a developer produces the same game for multiple systems they are just after the money and the controller functions of the Wii would be a taped on after-thought. But I'm sure there would be some gems in there that the Wii would be better for. I just don't think Graphics are that important. Most of the games I play I play because I like the feel, story, or simplicity of them, not the graphics. Graphics are just eye candy, and we all know candy in excessive amounts is bad for you and just makes you a fat and lazy gamer ;)

Eh, I doubt I would pay that much for the wii. The price it is at right now is just perfect and I really don't see anything wrong with the graphics.

For giving MP3 a 10 (which means must buy) you probably don't know what 'must' means. Which voids the value of your opinion altogether.

not entirely true, if the wii had power only equivelant to an atari 2600, the the system and the games would be considered S***. graphics are an important part of a game, the ps3 and xbox 360 have hardware capable of true next-gen graphics, and is just as capable of great games, maybe even more so than the wii for certain genres. Im not bashing the wii, im just saying that graphics are also important

Right on, thats exactly how I feel about wii games.
Look at far cry vengeance for example, the game was busted technacally but the gameplay was near perfect.

Or is that not a good example lol?

i would love 360 graphics on wii, just to add to the next gen feel, plus the wii would get all the good multi-platform games instead of seperate versions and remakes

The only point is that unless you own an NDTV, the 360 and PS3 are practially like the Wii graphics-wise. Gameplay-wise, the Wii trumps all.

Here you go.

Now you can see the difference even with your poor vision.

I dotn necess. think I woudl pay that much to have enhanced graphics on the wii liek the TC suggests, but there is nto that huge of a jump in graphics in those screens you linked. My opinion, but i dont think they are in anyway leaps in bounds different by very much, except thae one where she is a morph ball and the hall is all lit up.
