Is the Wii stronger than the original Xbox, if so..

I was a bit surprised that you consider 50% faster = marginally faster. But hey, let's not get too hung up on words.

More importantly, your latest post seems to have a different vibe to it compared to those previous ones. Before I was getting the idea that the flipper was almost a joke compared to the Xbox's GPU, a different idea than your latest post seems to convey.

 

Please explain, NJ5, why you seem to think that 50% faster is more than "marginally" faster, we're we're only discussing raw performance, and not going into the details of each and every graphics pipeline, for every game we can think of?

I suggest you re-read my posts in this thread, without the bias you seem to think I have against the Wii.

Considering that all the three consoles being discussed here tend to output 480p video (as far as I know), I would say that a 50% improvement is not a negligible speedup.

Since you mentioned 720p before I'll also say: obviously if you were to have double the amount of pixels it would actually mean you have less power per pixel and then a similar claim can be justified, but that's not the case here.
