The Gamecube was on part with Xbox. It provided a faster CPU whereas the Xbox had a more powerful GPU and supported DirectX.[QUOTE="PrinceofSarcasm"]The wii is almost = in power to the original xbox. It can still be pushed (as right now alot of ps2 games look better) but it will never match real current gen consolessonic_spark
Now, some of the best looking games were on the Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 is a definite example.
The Wii is touted to be twice as powerful as the Gamecube, we've yet to really see it. Whereas Metroid Prime 3 pushes more particle effects, more detailed characters and environments, the game is artistacly beautiful. However, from a technical standpoint, its far from what the Wii could push.
Mario Galaxy is a lot more of what Wii owners should expect. A great physics engine, beautiful environments from both a technical and artistic standpoint.
My bet, is that the Wii Zelda, will show exactly how powerful the Wii is. By the time that game comes out, it will have been in development for 3 years (at least the engine).
But any dev could push the Wii, if they stopped trying to go for quick cash hogs instead.
The xbox is more powerful than the wii. Proof? games.
