The challenge they have is that third parties aren't going to make much money on this platform because Nintendo is going to make all that money, and their ability to compete with something like a Halo or produce an experience like Madden on their system is going to be tough. They don't have the graphics horsepower that even Xbox 1 had. So it makes sort of the comparison set a little bit difficult.

:lol: I own a Wii but I think it's plain for everyone to see Wii is under powered, even next to Xbox 1. Games like Ninja Gaiden black and Riddick kill anything on Wii.

From everything Nintendo is putting out now Graphics have taken a back burner to every other aspect of the Wii.   It seems to be working right now.   In my case though I will take the Graphics any day.   Sure Wii might have some great playing games that are a lot of fun.  Well the 360 (and Ps3) also have some great games that are really fun, but those same games will also have amazing graphics.

Then Xbox 1 for it's time was VERY powerful, I'd say it's equal with Wii in graphics. That should give people an idea about how good the Xbox 360 or PS3 graphics are compared to the Wii though, get an Xbox 360 if you love graphics, shooters and competitive online play with friends (and lots of amazing games due soon)

i am surprised that he did not say the xbox was better than the 360... i only had one xbox break and need to be repaired... i have had my 360 break twice and my powersupply break once...

the wii is a more powerful machine than the 360's little bro.  there are no games really to prove that yet other than maybe Zelda.  it is a gorgeous game and it is of cube orgins.  the wii will certainly surpass the xbox in graphically impressive games.

Xbox was a tank, man.

I have an Xbox, 360 and a Wii (almost typed cube by accident), and can honestly say that not a single Wii game even comes close to games like Riddick,  Ninja Gaide, Panzer Dragoon, or, well pretty much anything released after 2003 on Xbox.

Hell, half of the games even aren't up to GameCube standards, and it had some awesome looking games too like Baten Katos, Pikmin 2, Rogue Squadron, etc...

-WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS A FACT:

The wii has better technical specs than the Xbox1.

The wii is not as powerful technologically as the Xbox360.

The wii is also not as powerful technologically as the PS3.

-WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS AN OPINION (BUT IN MY MIND FACTUAL):

Graphics don't make games.  OOT is still better than your precious MGS and your HALO.

I seem to remember a certain website suggesting that you buy Madden for the Wii over the other consoles...

There is graphical potential in the Wii that has not been reached by any Wii game currently available.  (Come on folks, you all know how this works)

Zelda Twilight Princess looked amazing on the Wii, however it had GCN graphics.  This shows two things... the GCN was a pretty damn good system.  Secondly, we can expect even better graphics in the future.

So MS was once again wrong and spreading slander, please do not endorse it.

The Wii will be able to push more then enough horsepower for games to look terrific on it.  Considering the Xbox and GC were pretty close to each other in power, and the Wii is a "beefed up" GC, it will end up producing better graphics that the original Xbox ever did.  It just may take awhile for games to come out that do so.

Doesn't matter though, considering the Wii already had a handful of games released for it that would never have been realized on the Xbox.

In all seriousness, name one.

I don't really care either way, because I bought my Wii for two GameCube ports anyways: Super Paper Mario & Fire Emblem.

But I haven't seen a single thing that outclasses the Xbox in any way from a technical standpoint, nor have I seen proof that Wii is as, or more powerful than Xbox. An official specification sheet has NEVER been released. Just off the top of my head, I can say that Wii is technically inferior to Xbox because it lacks Support for 5.1 audio, complex shaders and resolutions higher than 480p.

I love my Wii, but The Xbox is still a better machine, and it's five years old.

When you say "never could be realized on the xbox".....you mean the use of the wii-mote right? I agree that wii-sports could never played on the xb....but power wise basically any game on the wii as of now could be put on the original xb with ease. Weather or not we'll see games that break the original xbox's boundarys has yet to be seen.

ok ok ok... here we have a cow saying that he hasn't seen anything on the wii that's better than what could be seen on the xbox.  Is is just me, or are you on the wrong side of this considering the situation between cows and lemmings in regards to PS3's graphical capabilities?  What is the argument the cows are using when people are saying 360 has just as good of graphics?  Now please apply that argument to the wii.  THANK YOU.

 

(for those of you that may be slow, the cows are stating the the only reason 360 games look as good as ps3 games is because ps3 is new and so the games haven't reached their potential, which is true and a valid point.  The sheep are using the same argument because it is also true.  games that come out at the beginning of a systems life don't look as good as games that come out a couple years down the road, it's that simple.  EXAMPLE: HALO1 vs. HALO2  Same system... big upgrade in graphics.)

 

so for those of you that have any doubt whether the Wii will play games that are graphically superior to the best xbox1 had to offer let me just say, you're wrong end of story.

So far I have seen nothing on the Wii that makes me believe that it is stronger than the Xbox. I'm not saying that it is weaker but if you judge it by the games so far then you have to almost agree with this MS guy. Even Galaxy ( which looks great ) doesn't really look any better than Ninja Gaiden.

Sadly, pathetically and in reality, NGB and Riddick:EFBB are indeed BETTER looking games compared to the Wii games out now :lol: I could also add Crimson Skies, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Doom 3, Rogue Squadron 2, F-Zero GX to that list.

and also add GT3 and GT4...a 2001 and 2005 PS2 games..... PS2 GAMES!!.....that's way better what's on Wii now :lol: 

GT Pro Racer, anyone? Excite Truck? :lol:

I don't hate the Wii.....I just feel its potentials are not being met. And I don't see it being met anytime soon, no matter how many times, how adament Sheep brag about 3rd party games.

Laugh it up. You're just making yourself look silly spewing all that. And what's even funnier is you're trying to hide your hatred for the Wii. Just admit it, you hate the Wii. Anyone with brain cells knows that launch titles are not the standard for any console. The Wii games will get better.

IN other news, the MS public relations team released information that states the 360 is more powerful than the sun and could beat Kasparov better than Deep Blue.  Also Bill Gates is a babe magnet and the 360 has a failure rate of only %3 which is the lowest of any console in history.

Must be true, they have no motive to lie about themselves versus their competition!

Retro Studios says that Metroid Prime 3 has graphics far beyond those of Halo 2. Now this is all based on what he said, he says that the screens show were incomplete and based off of inferior development kits. I tend to believe him and I think that MP3 will have superior graphics to Halo 2. However, its still underpowered next to the 360 and PS3 obviously.

So, he equates "better" with "graphically superior"?  It seems like he hasn't learned his lessons very well.  The Wii is selling like mad and would sell more, if they could make them fast enough.  Besides, life has better graphics than any game system.  If I thought the best graphics were all that mattered, I'd get a life and stop playing video games.

Looks at Star wars rogue squadron on the Gamecube which looked better then 85% of Xbox game with less graphical horse power.

 

Not the amount of power its how you use it ;)

No offense, but when in history has a 5 year old system beat a new system? this is the only situation that comes to mind and this is sad at best, pathetic at worst.
