So many attacks on the opening poster. I don't see what's so wrong with him starting this thread. What is wrong is bitter fanboys saying Wii is last gen.

At worst it's a best-of the 6th gen in terms of processing. It has the Gamecube's efficiency (powerful parts that are inexpensive and power conscious), the Xbox's speed (as has been proven by the numbers on the Processor chips), and the PS2's flexibility (the extra processing units allow more flexible effects that the PS2 used with its vector units*).

It's just not a total best of because it has less internal memory than the Xbox, and it has the Xbox and GC's combined memory, but not combined with the PS2's total memory.

Okay, there is the Dreamcast, but adding any from that system would just have been icing.

* If the incompatibility issues had not gotten in the way, it could have nearly matched the othe system's in terms of graphics.

Huh?

First you say it has less memory than the Xbox, which it certainly doesn't (91 MB is more than 64 MB), then you say it has Xbox + GC total memory, which it doesn't (91 MB is less than 107 MB).

I meant storage memory there, not RAM memory.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Storage memory as in the Xbox's HDD and the Wii's Flash RAM?

Lol, those are great points. The only counter argument thus far is that you're trolling. All in all, I'd say a good day's work.

Yes. If the Wii had 8GB of flash memory (although would have cost a lot a couple of years ago), and had the total memory from all systems (forgot about the 16MB for sound and disc buffering on the GC), and had a VMU like accessory on the Classic Controller, it would truly be the best of the 6th gen.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Welcome to yet another useless flamebait thread by frybread.

Why do I even waste time reading and replying to this crap?

I'll never get these seconds of my life back now.

I think you're guilty of the same thing alot of the time aswell. Heck, me too.

So let's not call the kettle black here.

Also, I love this thread. Controversy is always good thing.
