Xbox 360 graphics
Vs. Nintendo Wii graphics
So we know by just looking at the DS and the Wii that Nintendo could care less about graphics, but get a load of this quote from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
“Players no longer seek more gorgeous graphics.”
Huh? Nobody told me I wasn’t seeking gorgeous graphics. Actually, that’s not true. I’m not seeking them, I expect them. Microsoft and Sony can deliver new tech alongside excellent HD graphics, so why can’t Nintendo?
I mean I love the Nintendo franchise and all, and their Wiimote has added a new twist to video games, but that kind of quote drops the industry back a decade.
Just compare the top two images. Which one would you prefer?
It’s no longer a requirement…
….Unless the system is powerful enough to deliver. I’m still waiting for third party developer to push the Wii to it’s limits. It’s like they are depending too much on the control scheme to sell the game. As a result, the system is being under utilized.
I disagree with kataztrophy. Sure graphics aren’t the best thing about a game but it is something you come to expect in this day and age.
The funny thing is, the wii tried to look better by choosing a more detailed scene, as you can see already xbox 360 has better graphics (ps3 get’s even better
).
If they used the same scene for the xbox, it would scream out WII FAILS!
The wii is a gamecube with about 25% more power, some wii games were pushed to the limit and the graphics were decent, but overall ps3 and 360 both have sharper graphics, alot more detail, real time lighting Ect.
Why didn’t they compare the wii graphics to the ps3’s graphics?, Because nintendo know that it would have lost them the console war.
Forgot to post something else, some ps2 games had better graphics than the wii, just look at “Black” for ps2, brilliant.
