My own personal list. All specifications are not fully confirmed by me against more sources and I will continue to fill in and change the list when i feel like it.

Various places I used to find information:

Wikipedia

And other places I cant remember.

There is so much more to it, and I really really think Wii can do much more then Xbox, but it is up to developers and Publishers to use the power.

 

 Your Gamecube specs are way off ...
