Which has better graphics 3DS or Playstation 2?

yeah ps2 NOT psp2 I'm talking about the $99 PS2 that's been on the market for 11 years and is the predecessor of the Playstation 3

Does the 3Ds have better graphics than the ps2?

The 3DS has better graphics then the PS2. The 3DS looks better then most GCN games and the GCN was more powerful then the PS2.

3DS.

I'll go with the 3ds.

3DS by a mile.

I'm pretty sure it's the 3DS. It has higher quality shaders, I believe.

i would say 3DS mainly due to screen size. If you took the 3DS images and put them on a big screen... :? who knows which would be better

man nintendo are just...... so they have released 2 pieces of hardware which are just SLIGHT(if even that) upgrades to the GC...campzor

they went from a 67mhz cpu with 4mbs ram to 2 cores a gpu and 64mbs ram witch is a massive upgrade .

Why are you making a big deal over it being a gc? Its a hand held not a home console . Wii hardware wise was a small ugrade but for 3ds its huge .

Here's the Best Comparison I can find.

Resident Evil 4 PS2 vs Resident Evil Revelations 3DS

Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore (PS2) vs Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS)

Street Fighter EX3 PS2 vs Super Street Fighter IV

Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2) vs Metal Gear Solid 3 (3DS)

Yeah I guess it's a safe bet that the 3DS is more Powerful than the PS2.

Adding to that, this is one of the few times in gaming history where current-gen handhelds are comparable to the graphics of previous-gen consoles. It's a good step up from the not-quite N64-ish graphics of the DS, and a massive leap from the GBA.

I'm pretty sure it's the 3DS. It has higher quality shaders, I believe.

DreamCryotank

3DS's PICA200 supports

1. OpenGL ES 1.1 API.

2. supports vertex shader but no programmable pixel shader.

3. it's fixed function pipeline can be use for some OpenGL ES 2.0 type effects i.e. a modern spin on DX7 type GPU.

Well, the launch titles of the 3DS look on par or even a bit better than later PS2 games. That said it might look somewhat close now, but later installments will make the difference bigger and bigger.

PS2.... Seriously.

Emotion Chip made everything awesome like how the Cell does....

Not enough hardwired shader features.

On non-raster renderingFold @ Home, CELL was smashed by AMD's Radeon X1900 twice over.

PS; Geforce 7/RSX is can't sustain full feature DX9c performance i.e. issues with full 32bit FP compute.

As for "advancement for handhelds"; a slightly higher priced AMD APU netbooks can kill 3DS.

I would expect the 3DS since the PS2 is ten years old...

Well we're comparing a portable with a home console here but if I sum up the whole experience (3D screen included), I will say 3DS.

That's not why they failed.

The N64 failed because it came out 18months after the PS1, which had an installed base of 16million by the time N64 launched in Japan.

The GC failed because it came out 18months after the PS2, which had an installed base of 20million by the time the GC launced in Japan.

As both were at best 50% more powerful then rival consoles (which is NOTHING with gaming consoles, needs to be a significant logarythmic increase), so there was no incentive for companies to bother changing support from one console to another.

3ds by a ton. the 3ds has graphics up to wii level, with the games on the 3ds having better textures and shaders but having less polygon's than the top wii games, or even some gamecube games.

ThePlothole

A netbook is light enough that it can be operated while being held on one hand i.e. not a laptop.

HP MiniNote netbook

Also, it's the same hardware for the incoming AMD APU tablet/netbook PCs.

PS; laptop is designed to be operated on a lap. Modern laptops needs cooling divider between person's lap and the laptop PC.

Only because its on a much smaller screen

The_Gaming_Baby

Netbooks usually has reduced heatsink size and weight, no optical drive, smaller battery, smaller keyboard, less USB ports and 'etc'.

AMD "bobcat" APU is designed to battle Intel Atom and high-end ARM Cortex A9 APU solutions.

Also, Sony has thier own AMD APU based netbook i.e. using a faster AMD E-350 APU and it's higher priced.

I really really want a 3DS...so many nintendo classics I've missed by never owning one of their consoles I can play on this, and judging by the success of the DS, it's going to have a lot of ****ing games coming out.

Lets compare Ridge Racer 3DS to Ridge Racer 5:
