Playstation 3- I want to say Uncharted 2 looks incredible. The colors the animation is a site to behold. Being mostly a xbot I have to admit that about uncharted 2. Being that naughty dawg works close with sony, is there big and better down the road for the playstaion 3? Xbox 360- Microsoft does not have a first party developer like Naughty Dawg to really push the hardware. Epic did do a Phenominal Job with Gears of War 2 and is no doubt the 2nd best looking game of this generation. Both: Grand Theft Auto 4 is crazy when you think of the scale of the game. The graphics mixed with the physics maybe the best of this whole generation when you calculate every into the equation. Wii- Wii only has a few games that look any better then Gamecube games. The best by far is a 2007 title Super Mario Galaxy. With Nintendo pushing "perfection" with the new Zelda and Metroid Other M looking great, will we see some untapped power from the Wii? Do you see this generation with lots of room to grow or are these consoles close to maxed with their current hardware?

The 360 has been maxed since it came out, the graphics havnt changed at all, same for the wii. The ps3 however has showed improvement every year and the trend isnt stopping judging by the games coming out this year (heavy rain, god of war)

I think they'll improve, I remember the PS2/Xbox graphics eventually looking close to early 360/PS3 graphics e.g. King Kong.

Do you really believe the crap that you are typing? You are either a blind fanboy, literally blind, or have not educated yourself.

I think you know yourself that's not true. On topic, I think all three have more to give.

Gears was ahead of its time really, overall 360 has seen a great improvement in graphics. I think Wii is the one with the most "untapped potential", but we will only know if someone actually bothers to tap it at some point.

hardwarewise? not really, but improved coding undoubtly will push out better looking and running games out. So a year or two with a steady stream on improvements on all 3 consoles, and then it will likely be limited.

No. All three have room to grow. Very few developers are willing to spent the time to make a Wii game truly look great, that's why we haven't seen many beautiful games on the system.

I think there's still room for improvement on all consoles, to be honest.

You're wrong.

All three consoles are capable of better graphics than they are currently displaying. Of course any improvements from now on will be small.

I think there is some room to grow still. Even if the consoles were at their peak I think developers are very content on where graphics currently stand reguardless, and wouldn't mind putting more time into gameplay and other technologies that improve gaming or create other avenues for creating games, like motion controls (Wand and Natal will take Wii's idea even further) and 3-D.

An in-screen shot compared to a photo mode shot? No, you don't. The difference between 3 and 4 is slight.

I'm sure there is room for improvement, some of the best looking games were at the end of the last gen, i see this being no different.

The more devs work with them the more they will learn and be able to squeeze out.

I strongly believe that the only way the consoles are going to have better graphics is with Cryengine 3.

The only way console graphics will improve is with an engine originally designed for PC?

The Console versions of Crysis 2 looked pretty good(in the tech demo vids,that is),although not at the same level as the PC.But detail wise,it seems better than,say,Uncharted 2.

Only time will tell,I guess.
