Andrew said: Wii has ~729mhz IBM Power 3 RISC CPU, x-box is ~733 Mhz intel pentium 3 CPU so cycle for cycle the Wii is twice the speed of the x-boxl. could you explain that to me? it says the xbox has 4 more Mhz of power yet you say that the wii is twice as powerful. As for saying that the wii is more powerful and stuff I think it is important to look at all the information and everything, which I am sure the wii beats the xbox in some parts and vise versa. Do you know any websites that might show this information?

Others have done a good job above, but it's really not the number of CPU cycles but what you can do in that cycle... The example I always use is wheels, imagine a tractor wheel vs a skateboard wheel with each revolution of the wheel a different ammount of movement is achieved. I think the Wii looks pretty good, certainly can tell what's going on, SSX Blur is fast and looks great, expect games to move onward and upward as large installed base will ensure developers work hard on the hardware to get good returns on investment.
