How the crap would you use a Wiimote for soccer? Tie it to your ankle? That would be fun with 11 people in the room... DIE DIE DIE *kick kick kick* :P

It's more than just a resolution problem ... When you add a viewport you save a little on scene-graph management but it ends up (over-all) taking much more memory, CPU and GPU processing power. I'm not too sure the PS3/XBox 360 has the processing power to handle much of a game with 16 viewports that are active. The other problem is screen real-estate. If you have a 32 inch TV you will have (approximately) 16 8-inch screens to use for split-screen multiplayer; on a TV that size (and with that many people in the room) everyone is probably going to be 8-10 feet away from their screen. There is just too little screen to see what is happening.

My point is. The PS3 can do split screen 10x better than the Wii. You just said power matters. You handed it to the PS3. :)

why are you always eager to prove that ps3 is more powerful than the wii? it is, i can tell u that and i'm no expert in that area. it seems you have some doubts, kwaad. don't have it... ps3 is more powerful than wii and than 360. ok? now, does that means its better? depends on what you like and what you want from a console. and another question, and i think its the most important, is: is it worth the money? better: is any console worth 600€? this is the question all the ps2 buyers are facing now and are having doubts.

The EDRAM on the Xenos is what you call the part dedicated to AA. In actuality it basically gives the system "free" 4x AA as well as a few other things, but this isn't because of dedicated circuitry but the 10mb in the EDRAM. Oh, and I got these numbers from wikipedia because it's convenient so take them with a grain of salt. The 360 ones are right from what I remember, although the RSX ones are higher but that was ages ago and not all the details were known on the GPU, so it could be right. And I don't think you could use 16 Wiimotes at once. After all, they are bluetooth with has a limit of 8 devices. This is why the PS3 allows 7 controllers since the PS3 counts as one device, thus making 8. But again, maybe Ninty is using some other form of Bluetooth or some sort of trick. Maybe he was counting GC controllers plugged in and classics too? And speaking of lots of controllers, anyone every play Saturn Bomberman?

So yeah. It's a chip that's rather useless, unless it's doing that stuff... :)
