If you DON'T believe the system has untapped power than you're a moron. Compare launch games to games of today. I'm guessing in 2005 we'll see the same leap from today's games.
PS2 was created a little ahead of its time. If people were familiar with the system's architecture before the console was released, it would be pumping out great graphics. Unfortunately the PS2 is unique and has a lot of power that developers can barely use, due to their unfamiliarity with the hardware.

I agree that you should base your opinions on videos and not screenshots... but. From the movie I have seen the main improve isn't poly counts, textures, or anything else; it's lightning. Adds a lot of atmosphere... not much worse than doom 3 if you ask.
Also speaking of tapping the PS2. It's a very controversal subject... but let's face facts... the who industry has been concentrating on the PS2 and it's 4 Vram really limit it. Not all the streaming abilities in the world can allow you to enable antialising(it's also software antialising which makes it simply laughable) , high res textures, and bump mapping(not to forget PS2 simply doesn't support bump-mapping).
Also let's not forget that it doesn't have vertex shaders like X-Box to allow a wide vairety of effects. (go play Morrowind with pixel shading effects on to see what I me)
So not to sound like a PS2 basher... it's my favorite console(sorry my X-Box but Splinter Cell sucks).
Also for all you PS2 owners go rent Wipeout Fusion... BEST GAME on the PS2 imo.
