Nintendo Wii: Respectable Specs

I will say I don't know a whole lot about technical specs really. What I do know is that Nintendo always has something up their sleeve when it comes to showcasing their consoles power. I don't think anyone here is going to argue the Wii is more powerful than 360 or PS3. I think the OP was merely using those systems as a reference to better illustrate Wii's power in relation to the hardware the other 2 are using. I am willing to bet the Wii is much more powerful than most people would like to think, and that it will produce some games later in its life by capable developers that will blow you away.

 First off I love Grr!

Second. I expect the Wii to get some games with amazing artistic sway.  But graphically, I expect at best, no more than 2x an x-box. The specs really arent that great, and the only reason I say 2x, is because I'm sure there will be something new come out in software, that will be easier on the GPU, to make a game look better. Just like bump mapping. It makes a 3D model look 10x better, without adding polygons.

 But overall, I never expect the Wii to look amazing 'technically' I mean, I expect some amazing games graphically, but not technically. Now, this is a technical post, so it's kinda bogus in my eyes.
