Llyranor Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 IIRC, Wii's specs are slightly more powerful than Xbox'. Far Cry's shots look more like the result of a shoddy port. The Gamecube is capable of prettier stuff than that. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haitoku Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Overall the Wii is more powerful than an Xbox, even if the Xbox can do some stuff that the Wii can't. But remember the Wii is more focused on its unique gameplay using the Wii controller and not on power. We can expect a game as beautiful as what we used to see on Xbox. http://wii.ign.com/articles/733/733951p1.html I imagine he is talking about shaders/lighting and such. Xbox/Wii shots definitely do not look the same... Edited September 23, 2006 by Haitoku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostStraw Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Eck, the guys arm looks like it's made of wood. No way would I be paying 550$ for a Wii... but if that's how much the Wii costs in Turkey -- what's the price of the Xbox 360 and PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The Wii is just a Gamecube with really cool controls.

Well, may be even more. When it comes to X360, situation is even more complicated. Microsoft refuses to bring their consoles to Turkey. So, it is impossible to buy one legally.

Krookie Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 A thousand bucks for a console is ridiculous. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people spend $1000 in total, after games, controllers, memory cards, online fees, and everything else is added in, but paying that much for just the system and a controller seems a little stupid.

kalimeeri Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yeah, many of the Wii titles aren't looking very good, but I think it's mostly the devs that need to shoulder most of the blame rather than the hardware itself. Can't say I blame them for adopting a 'wait and see' attitude. It costs a lot of $ to develop a game. Since 2 of the 3 major systems have yet to appear on the shelves, it's hard to project how many games might be sold to recoup the investment. At the 'suggested retail' prices shown for the consoles so far, it's a fair bet that not too many ordinary folks are going to have more than one, at least initially.

It seems odd that they'd be so much more than they are in the US/Europe/Japan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm just guessing right now, though the reason has to be that there's a ridicilously high "luxury tax" on entertainment-related (?!) items in general (I remember paying TRIPLE the US-price for a Fender Stratocaster). Here's the catch: Since the government, by their own admission, are unable to get so many 'respectable' businesses to pay any tax, they gouge instead the unsuspecting public in ways such as this.
