I thought it was a gross exaggeration at first, like many here. But after looking some of the specs up it seems closer than what I would have thought... still exaggerating though (look at those RE4 screens).
Comparison to the two:
Iphone 3GS -
CPU - 833 MHz underclocked to 600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 and PowerVR SGX Source
RAM - 256 MB of RAM. Source
GPU - Can't find any specifics here. There's probably more out there, I didn't look very hard. Power-VR SGX GPU with Open GL 2.0 ES archetecture Source
Wii -
CPU - IBM Broadway processor, reportedly clocked at 729 MHz.
GPU: ATI Holywood, reportedly clocked at 243 MHz
RAM: 24MBs of "main" 1T-SRAM. It additionally boasts 64MBs of "external" 1T-SRAM. That brings the total number of system RAM up to 88MBs, not including the 3MB texture buffer on the GPU. Same, outdated source for all three.
Now, I'm certainly not the right person to ask, but I would wager that the main difference between the two is the GPU - in the Wii's favour.
I do realize that what I have listed is not the only information needed for comparisons sake, but it's the best I could find in just a few short minutes. Also, I realize those Wii specs are outdated. Please correct me if the info is off.
Edit: Nevermind. Mr Khan had already beaten me too it. Sorry, I didn't see your post.
