Default Wii Graphics Inquiry

This is intended for the heavy CPU gaming/PS2/XBOX 360 audience.

My little nephew had a PS2 hooked up to a 60'' projection, Madden looked like ass on it. My $600 video card on my CPU ran circles around it with Madden. Will the Wii fair much better in terms of graphics than the nifty CPU machines or the PS2' on any TV, HDTV, etc?

And for those who do enjoy playing Madden with their Wii, can you also use the classic controller instead of the modern styled alternative which involves all kinds of wrist motion?

@250 < $3000. And it's not even close.

Edit: only considering graphics

The Wii is going to look better than the PS2 (hell, even the GameCube did). I'd also probably rather play a Wii than a nice gaming PC... but there's no way it's going to compare in terms of graphics. Can't imagine it being close.

Meh, I suspected that. But still felt this child-like urge to buy the Wii, the classic style / retro lookin' controller stole my heart.

Ugh, the PS2 was so ugly.

The Wii is MUCH better graphics wise, though that has little to do with the comparison to a 3k comp.

The Wii is NOT much better then PS2 graphics wise. Compare Shadow of the Colossus and God of War to Zelda. Yes Zelda does look better, but it certainly isnt MUCH or light years or anything like that.

I looked at those games. They came out 5 years into the PS2's life. Zelda was a GameCube game that was converted into a Wii launch title. If you don't think that Wii is going to be much prettier than PS2, you are just kidding yourself. Zelda isn't even coming anywhere near pushing the Wii graphically.
