Call of Duty 3: Wii vs. Xbox 360

Our friends over at Destructoid have put together an interesting article + image (above) comparing the Wii's graphics to the Xbox 360's. What are your thoughts? Gameplay footage (Wii) after the jump.
Jaggies aside, there are a lot of visual problems such as absence in depth of field shadows, realistic lighting, and volumetric fog — all things that do attribute to immersive gameplay in reastic simulators such as this. Pardon me ladies, but this looks absolutely craptacular, which is a shame because EA has higher quality assets readily available which the system apparently just can’t support as sustainable frame rates. The reality of Miyamoto’s earlier statement about the Wii being akin to Gamecube 2 begins to sink in…

This just proves the theory i came up with the first time the Wii specs was announced: its nothing else but an overclocked gamecube with an updated graphics card. Yes i know that nintendo keeps saying that they are not focusing on hardware specs but come on, i know you can do better than this nintendo.

that is the most biased, stupid, ignorant thing I've ever seen. Of freakin course the wii has worse graphics. Some whiny little fanboy had fun, and all you managed to do is support him

thats certainly not a smoking gun- graphics still look pretty good and when it comes down to it a real game is about gameplay not cinematic experience

Thats certainly no smoking gun- the graphics are more than suitable for immersive gameplay, and when it comes down to it gameplay is what makes a game, all the good graphics in the world won't save a boring game

What the fuck?!! No grass, well we are in the desert. Who says that the textures are the same on our regular tv and not HD tv. You know that the devil can read the bibel to.

that's like saying let's compare controller for both systems, they are just made different and for different things.

The Wii doesn't claim to do anything that's remotely HD, which is why I hate topics like this. End of discussion.

Now, for these "Gaming Websites" that carry Video cameras around to Gaming events, do they just grab the closest mentally challenged, stroke victim of an intern who's never touched a video game controller before to play all the demos at these events? I mean come on, has this person ever played an FPS? Do they realize that what they're doing has a corresponding reaction happening on the screen? Or is the poor bastard just deaf, dumb and blind? Seriously. It wouldn't be so bad, but they get the same person to do ALL these videos... Seen the one for Gran Turismo: HD? The person obviously has never seen an actual "Car" in action... jeez...

Uhhhhhhhhh... you all stink, alot of games ARE based solely on graphics, alot of games do suck @$$. The only thing that made sense in these comments was that Gameplay matters, true, but that also means that the Wii(being completely different) needs completely different games!!!!!!! PS3 gonna kick ur bottoms!

In response to Ghouley, HELLO FANBOY. I'm sick of people getting on to forums and saying this console is crap, this one is so much better blah blah blah. Who the f**k cares. If you enjoy the games on one console good on you, at least you are supporintg the gaming industry. One question though, how can the PS3 be the best thing ever made when it has not even been distributed to the public yet? Perhaps your time machine is the best thing ever made because you must have used it to travel to the future and try out the PS3 to be able to make a declaration like that. Time to change your nappies son.

dang, this is the second disappointing post today. whatever happened to integrity in journalism? this was presented as a sort of "exposé" but they failed to mention that Nintendo has never ONCE claimed to compete on the visual end. From day one the Wii has been all about new ways of doing things, Nintendo is the FIRST one to admit their graphics are not as good.. as most software company support technicians will tell you "That feature is functioning as intended" end of story.

I think its funny how everyone is crying about the graphics... If Wii manages to pull at least those Xbox graphics then Im more than happy about it... I still have a lot of fun with the first Call of Duty and everyone knows the diference between graphics are amazing compared to the newer games... As long as Nintendo keeps their promise on gameplay, you wont see me complaining...

This just in: Wii controller lighter then XBox 360's! First off, those 2 pics are from 2 different locations of 2 different objects. No doubt shown on 2 different TV's with 2 different outputs. You mean HD has a sharper picture then componant video, no way!?

Why is this news. We KNOW that the 360 went for more powerful hardware and more realistic graphics and the Wii went for a different gameplay experience. I'm gonna end up with a 360 eventually, but I'm throwing down my money for the Wii on the first day.

Everyone who thinks graphics make a good game need to GTFO my internet, shallow mindless drones need to realize there's more to life than looks, and the Wii's got it, even Maddox endorses the Wii, and who are any of you to argue with him?
