I looked at the timeline for CoD and WAW came out in '09, while MW2 came out in '08. But I think the graphics Metroid Prime 3 can compete with any CoD game. I personally despise CoD only liking the third installment. But the graphics are alright. Then again, graphics aren't (or shouldn't be) top priority for games. Only thing I can think of where looks are important are in movies that use CGI.
I agree with GamerLynx, it all depends on what you're looking for.
[quote]wii cant handle graphics Just look at games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it has pretty good graphics, compared to some of the games on the PS3/Xbox360. You can't generalize a whole system based on one or two games. CoD has pretty good graphics, but compare it to a game like Valkyria Chronicles. People have said that the graphics on it look pixelated/glitchy. Now, if I were to take that game, and base the whole PS3 based on that game, that wouldn't be right, would it?
I'm not saying that graphics, are everything, but what people are doing isn't right. I personally think that the Wii is a pretty good console.
