Already been stated like 50 times. Besides, I read on Wikipedia that Wii's CPU is clocked at 729MHz and its GPU is clocked at 243MHz. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

Nintendo has gone on record to say that Wii is 2-3 times more powerful than GameCube. Using this logic, and the GameCube's base clock speeds, we can calculate the Wii's CPU and GPU. Let's average the 2-3 to 2.5. So know our equation looks like this:

GameCube "Gekko" CPU: 485 MHz
GameCube "Flipper" GPU: 162 MHz

Now let's multiply them by 2.5!

485 x 2.5 = 1212.5 MHz = 1.2 GHz "Broadway" CPU

162 x 2.5 = 405 MHz "Hollywood" GPU

So know we know how powerful Wii is! It is still not as powerful as Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 but it is more powerful than we thought!

Wii Hardware Specs:

"Broadway" CPU: 1.2 GHz
"Hollywood" GPU: 405 MHz

 You are soooo wrong... but whatever....  the Wii has some great looking games coming but it is definately not clocked the way you think it is.

I bought a Wii because it fit with the style of gaming I wanted to play.  I sucked at shooting games using old controllers...  The Wii allows me to play on par with everyone else!  Yay!
