Nintendo stated about two times as powerful as the GC or one and a half times as powerful as Xbox. Somebody made a thread in the Wii forums a while ago about how they tried to mess around with a PC game to try to caculate what the Wii was capable of and it seemed like it could produce low-end 360 graphics.

Wii is a little bit more powerful than the Xbox 1.

In other words. It is a pathetic ripoff when priced at 250 dollars + 60 dollar full controllers

"It's about as powerful as the original Xbox. The video hardware unfortunately is not as powerful. There's just a couple of key things that you can do on Xbox like shaders which you just cannot do on the Wii".

Well so far there hasn't been a single game release on the Wii that was made on Wii hardware. Wait for Madden 08, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy for that answer. Oh wait Scarface for the Wii is a port of the Xbox version and it has better textures, better lighting, the draw distance is further, and doesn't have slowdown in the areas that the Xbox version has slow down.

Let Nintendo show you how powerful it is, and the devs also. We will realy see what under the hood with the big 3 coming out soon.

The 'Cube had horrible 3rd party support, so a lot of devs arfe not familiar with the architecture. Yes, the Wii is GameCube archtecture just like my old Pentium3 600 MHz pcis primarily the same archtecture as my P4 3.2 GHz pc. Show the devs what can be done and they will follow suit.

MP3, SSBB, SMG, all have good graphics. Those are really showcasing what the Wii can do. Some are going to say that's not much, but that's fine with me. That probably isn't even pushing it to its limits.

IMHO...What Nintendo did was to create an affordable console (Which is good for parents);). They did something pretty inovative with their controller, another plus.............but they forgot about their graphics. I know nintendo is not known for their beefy graphics, but they could have at least done a better job than gamecube,xbox1,ps2 graphics, come on nintendo!!! they too a step forward and then took another step back....that will definetly hurt them in 08, when theAAAgames come out.

I love the people saying "show me a wii game that's better than xbox". Umm, guys, just because there isn't one out yet, doesn't mean it's impossible. There is simply no way any dev outside of nintendo could have a game that good looking out for the wii by now. Ya gota wait.

wow what an accomplishment:roll:

For it's size it is, that thing is waaaaaay smaller then the Xbox. To make a console a little more powerful then the Xbox significantly smaller is an acomplishment in my eyes. So what if the graphics don't compete with the 360 or PS3, it's not like the Wii can't produce nice looking games. :roll:

the xbox1 is actually more powerful than the iphone, so that must be a rip off too right? because a new interface and smaller construction doesn't cost anything.

Not a good comparison. Both are great looking games but both screenshots suck, even if you saw both in motion it wouldn't be fair since one is a platformer and the other is a shooter.

My understanding is it is several times more powerful than the GC so probably 2x or so the xbox i would predict. Several games looks better than the xbox games such as super paper mario and wii sports (not that great but hey it looks good). It's not a night and day omg this blows it away diff yet but some games coming up look to be good for that.

Give the wii some time and we'll see what it can do since a bunch of the games so far are basically gc ports or games that were going to be for the gc but moved to the wii instead

Gamecube showed it early with Rogue Squadron. The Wii is an overclocked Gamecube, so it should be showing it right now. Because all developers have to do is add on their current knowledge to the 5 years of experience with the Gamecube. Stop with the excuses. Their is no potential for Wii. It pretty much topped out 1 year after its release, but that's what you get with a $250 budget console.

If the PS2 tapped out in 2007, and the Wii is not much further than the PS2, that means the Wii will also tap out very soon.

Definately better than PS2 but I think the Xbox has some graphical advantages in a few areas,such as shaders for bump mapping and realtime lighting etc,and Wii a couple of others, such as slightly faster chips in general etc...

Sheep try to compare Wii's technology potential to 360 and PS3's. Wii is old tech and PS3 and 360 is new especially PS3. There is no excuse.

Think about it this way, the GC can run Twilight Princess the same as the Wii can. Thus far it Zelda is the most impressive looking Wii game out and I am sure the GC could have pulled off slightly better graphics, but the console was pretty much pushed to its limit. So in reality if the GC is half the power of the Wii and we all know the original Xbox was never fully utilized for the best graphics for most of its games, we should at least see Ninja Gaiden Black quality graphics, however recent screen shots from Smash Bros and Metroid Prime 3 are proving that the Wii is capable of a lot. Also considering the GC was plagued with limits of storage capabilities, the Wii has that advantage.

Dude, its not going to compete with 360 or PS3 graphics, stop telling yourself that it will get super better with time, but it might match or exceed slightly the XBOX 1 graphics.

i agree, the Wii seem like an overclocked gamecube with extra ram and extra feature. their shading power are extremely weak thats why no games on the Wii will ever look close to Ninja gaiden on xbox or Doom 3 kind of game that use full amount of shader.

Where in my post did I say it was going to be superior or in the same class as PS3 or 360 graphics wise? No where. Im saying that all the consoles will improve graphically throughout this generation, and you can see the Wii is improving with games like MP 3 and SMG
