So, how does the Wii's graphics stack up against the old classic pong?  Discuss.

Sadly, Pong is more pleasing to look at than 75% of the Wii games.

We have to compare with the times. You can't compare a thirty year old console to the new one.

 

So Wii is obviously inferior to the 360 and PS3. While PONG was WAY superior to... ... ... Pong was way superior to card games as card games don't have any technical features. Pong wins..

Let's see... Pong displayed 3 pixels for the paddles and one for the ball.

The Wii is capable of displaying more pixels, textured polygons, and many colors.

PONG! LOLOLOLOLOL.

I am aware of the fact that Wii is a console and Pong is a game.  So for the purpose of this super serious thread, we can compare Pong Graphics to the Graphics of the average Wii game...

pong, but this isn't a fair vote. Pong would beat even Company of Heroes and Gears of War.

This is just complete and utter stupidity. My gosh, do people even remember the games they were playing just a few months ago on the PS2? And the Wii is multiple times more powerful than that. You graphics whore are complete morons.

Who cares if Pong is winning? All that says to me is that there are a lot of idiot fanboys around here. If my favorite company's console was a 700 dollar money pit with vanishing exclusives that few people seem interested in I'd probably make juvenile polls like this too. The next wave of Wii games, while not as spectacular as the 360 or PS3 graphically, are looking very impressive, especially when compared to the current wave of Wii games (which were largely designed using GC kits).

So yeah fanboys, laugh it up while you can... the Wii is showing no signs of slowing down. Enjoy your overpriced console and your ridiculous irrelevant topics.

There's a corollary relationship between the desperation of Wii-haters and the age of the consoles that Wii gets compared to.

First it was GameCube games.  Then we went back into the N64 and PS1 era, but as the Wii steadily increased in success, that wasn't enough, so SNES comparisons arose.

Now that we're all the way back to Pong, I think it's safe to say that the detractors are in rout and Wii has won the war for hearts and minds.

This is why I drew this comparison, because I saw Wii getting compared to PS1 and before that xbox and so on.  So I just went ahead and went back all the way to the days when there were only 11 pixels on the screen at the time. 

And dont call me some fanboy/hater.  I wanted to buy a Wii but no store in town had one and I am not camping out for one, or waiting in any kind of line.

Pong has the best graphics EVAR. Crysis? Are you SERIOUS? I could crap better graphics than THAT. Pong, however is such an INCERDIBLE GRAPHICAL MASTERPIECE IT LOOKS BETTER THAN REAL LIFE. Real life doesn't even come close...

I saw the same comparisons you did, obviously, and that's what I was riffing on.

For the record, I didn't call you a fanboy or a hater.  The first sentence is very carefully constructed so as to not refer to any person or group of people as Wii-haters, merely imply that they exist and are desparate.
