It seems Nintendo is a lot behind shrinking CPU and GPU. At the same time Sony and MS are moving to 45nm chips.

I think my post explains why... at least assuming I am correct (I could be talking total bollocks, but it makes sense in my mind at the moment)


@Bdbdbd... Lol,  I would hardly call lower power consumption behind, given that one of the advantages in lowering the size of the chips is often lower power consumption I would think going forward requires you to aim as near to 0 power as possible.

I think Bdbdbd was being sarcastic there..

Also yeh your post explains what killerman was saying except that he's a troll and read half the OP before posting

 

I wouldn't jump on him like that... it wasn't trolling, he speaks the truth, Nintendo are behind in this.... but then they have a good reason to be.

Sony and MS have good reasons to have shrunk the chipsets as quiickly as possible. Neither had supply problems after the first couple of months, so there was no worry about there being poor supply whilst they change over. They also designed really power hungry, super heated machines that would benefit greatly from the new chips... and the new ones save them money, which both have companies gaming divisions have been bleeding since they launched.
