The WII is dead last, sorry but it's graphics are nowhere near 360 or PS3...and between those two, it seemed as if 360s textures had some sort of like..jaggedness/sharpness to it...the PS3's looked much smoother...over time i think PS3's graphics will become apparently better but right now the system is new so developers have more time to AMP up their games and what not.

well the PS3 definately looks smoother, but also brighter. with the wii its all about the gameplay-- graphics were definately sent to the backburner. 360 looks the coolest in my opinion... the darker mood suits the game better.

PS3 and XBox360 look almost neck and neck, can't really tell them apart. PS3 looked brighter, but I prefer my games darker so I would probably go for the Xbox360 on that game. Wii looked absolutely pitiful.

I gree, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are very similar, however the Wii, having a much weaker graphics processor, looks almost last generation by comparison. The textures on the Wii are much too bland and alot less detail is put into the game as a whole. The 360 and PS3 however, are by far the winners. The 360 seems to be darker during gameplay, with some detailed textures. The PS3 is also very detailed but the game seems to play lighter, but bear in mind the 360 has been out for a year now, so the developer has a fuller advantage when developing the game for that system. It is hard to tell between them at the moment. Give the PS3 and Wii game developers more time and i think we will see a better difference.

Don't forget the Wii Gameplay! Those controllers can make you forget the better graphic of X360 and Ps3. We all knows that X360 is out for a year, but Gears of War has learned to us that much more can be done with that console... even if Ps3 is more powerfull in technical sheets!

Wow impressed with the Wii graphics here, ok its nowhere near the effect of the other two but come on, all i want to do is wave the Wiimote and nunchuck about to kill things....pads are so last year!! I was playing Call of Duty 2 last night on my pc at full spec, looks similar to the xbox and ps3 from the vid.....boring!!

You people still don't get it... The PS3 graphics will not be any better than the Xbox360 in the future because the Xbox360's GPU is far superior. The latter can do High Dynamic Range (HDR) all the way without speed penalties whereas the PS3's RSX falls down in performance if it wants to display HDR. So far the technicalities. So don't expect wonders from the PS3 but thats the fault of Sony bragging for too long. The main difference we can expect is that at image quality the Xbox360's games will be only better in the future because its power is only being discovered. And there is no excuse like the Xbox360 was one year earlier because the PS3's hardware was delayed 1 year only for waiting on the Blu-ray laser diodes. So no advantage for the 360 on this front!

Since when is image contrast/brightness a factor when comparing image quality in games? Do you know what your talking about?' Almost every game i played on x360 so far has brightness/contrast/gamma options, so something as trivial as that is easily customized (plus your display/screen probably has more options too). Things like texture and lightmap sharpness, effect quality, polycount, AA/AF level, shader detail etc etc are things you need to look at these days. Not that it makes a difference in this case: because of the flash-videoplaye you cant see those things properly anyway. How can you compare HD games if compressed and resized so horribly?

The graphics race is over. Intel and AMD gave up on the MHz race, and the video game companies are going to have to end their battle over frame rates and textures. I don't even own a Wii, but from the motion sensing games I HAVE played, it will be the most revolutionary system that we have seen in years. Once graphics get to a certain point, they stop mattering.
10
You'd plump for one system because its darker? Any decent TV/monitor will have a brightness and contrast control so you can make it darker if you want to...

x360 is the best

I think the Wii's graphics are closer than people say they are. At least that's my viewpoint. But I think the xbox and ps3 are definitly better. But which one is best? I would say the xbox, but not by much! And the Wii gameplay definitly gives it a few extra points, so I think they are all pretty equal in the end!
13
The Xbox 360's graphics looks more realistic and crisper
14
Guys, remember, Nintendo wanted the Wii to be for everyone, I seriously doubt parents want their children having so much gore that it'd change the child.

The Wii isn't about eye-candy; it's about gameplay. Sure, both the PS3 and 360 look great but can I point the controller at the screen and shoot. Don't think so.

I agree, the Wii does NOT look anywhere near as nice as the PS3 or XBOX360. But I can sure as hell tell you that I'd more than likely play an FPS on the Wii since I'll have a MUCH easier time navigating around the game. I find it futile to control an FPS game with a directional pad + analogue stick. The only way i'd play it on the other consoles is if I had a mouse and keyboard installed, but then why bother... I've got a custom PC tailored to play FPSes. Its funny, I consider myself a HARDCORE gamer and I for one will tell you that graphics don't mean a thing if you are into competitive gameplay. A nice example of this was Quake 3 Arena. EVERYBODY was playing in very low quality graphics to get EVERY frame possible. I for one reduce my graphics on a duo core SLI (Geforce 7600) p4 3.6 down to 800x600 and reduce nearly all cosmetics. It's funny, everybody knocks the wii for the graphics, but coming from a gamer as long as we're not dealing with stick figures, i'm a happy guy.. Just give me some fun damn games to play :)

This shows just how much better 360 is doing over the PS3. Think sony hasn't flopped before? Notice the articulation of the character's face when they do the 3 side by side comparison of the soldier wrestling with you. The dynamics of the soldier, graphically, win by far with the 360. Everything just looks more realistic. The whole "well the developers didn't have the same time as 360" argument is BS. When projects such as consoles emerge, developers, designers, coders, well pretty much everyone knows about it long before the public does. They must contract their secrecy. The public will never even hear of new things even long after those behind the scenes do. It is a fact. Know what you are talking about. Developers have had plenty of time to optimize these for the platforms and were not rushed for a final product. Silly kids.

Same here I was impressed by the Wii's graphics. When I looked at the title I was like...another topic to embarrass the Wii, but the Wii was right there next to the PS3 and XB360. Wow, great stuff. Can't wait to get it this friday.

If its graphics you are looking for, then just go for a high end PC.
20
The Wii is last gen graphics. It's just an upgraded gamecube. It was said by nintendo themselves.

if you think u can judge it from this video? you're a dumbarse :) let me see the same video in HD, then we'll start talking

Wow.. Looked like the 360 best, then Wii, then PS3. The PS3 looked terrible for some reason.. Just the shading didn't seem right to me. I like playing Wii more anyway, who the hell cares about graphivs? Get a PC for that.
24
I think clearly the 360 won the battle over the PS3 as it looks the best and came out a full year before the other two console version. This is pretty telling on how bad the PS3 really is consider the extra year, knowing the 360 specs, and still coming up with a worse system.
25
Okay, Personally I found that the Xbox 360 had the best graphics, and the most in depth will be Wii because of the Controller. The thing is though, The Developpers haven't had good PS3 Devkits since last year, so of course the time frame is a bit shorter. We'll see next year who comes out on top.
