That is why Wii, with the most powerful hardware, has most games in<br>
cel-shading, and the others, like PS3 and 360, that has a really poor<br>
hardware, uses realistic graphics.<br>

I looked up many of the "cel-shaded" games for the Wii and most of them ignored outlines &<br>
character lighting. Of the ones which did implement them, it was painfully obvious that they<br>
were using 2D billboards for the characters.<br>
<br>
This is a given; the Wii just can't do real cel shading because it lacks shader hardware.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the reason more Wii games use a form of cel shading is because the hardware is<br>
incapable of realistic graphics and imitating cel shading and because of the audience of<br>
their games, rather than technical reasons?<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
