pokes at Tuulikk, Wii was a GC 1.5 or GC 2.0 but definitely GC 1.5 I'll show you the link later, I have to find it.

 

Ah! I got a poke!

I think Wii in some areas is a GC 1.6 and in others 2.0 or so. So I would rather call Wii a GC 1.8. Anyway, Wii has superior texturing to GC, better colors and lightning. There probably is hardware and software tweeks to make Wii stand out more then just raw power and different controls to GC.

 

But the Wii have still a last gen existing technology unlike the 360 and the PS3 so the average games on the system can be still compared to XBOX games. Sure, the Wii is more powerful than the XBOX but its still using the same technology so we've seen more and more games on the Wii that looks like a box game if only third parties put effort into it.

Well, yes and no. 64 MB of GDDR Ram is new current gen tech. Most of the rest is probably at least based on old tech from GC. Most upgrades is probably on GPU and RAM.

And yeah, it's like with DS, if I don't remember wrong, DS has some modern tech, but it's still +/- N64. Wii can outdo Xbox and GC, but not escape from them.
