To avoid all this controversy that Nintendo has created they should release the Wii specs, why is it so hard.

Conclusion: imo the Wii while pushing its hardware to its peek can only match what the Xbox can do in moderation..

 

Because specs are not comparable variables.   A 729 Mhz copper PowerPC CPU is much faster than a 733 Mhz aluminum Intel Celeron.

64 MB GDDR3 + 24 MB 1t-SRAM is much more capable than 64 MB of DDR SDRAM.  And so on.

 

It's not the numbers themselves that make the Wii stronger, it's the architecture and design.  So releasing the specs would be pointless to 99% of gamers who have little understanding of the numbers in thier context and would only take them at face value.

 

Did you just claim that Xbox was never pushed to its peak in the 5 years of shelf life but that Wii has already been pushed to its limit despite less than 3 years of shelf life?

So why not release the specs for that 1% of gamers that would like to know?

The ps2 was the weakest last gen and was catered to all type of gamers, especially the casual and outta the 120k maybe more than 97% of the userbase didn't care about the numbers of the PS2, still Sony released the specs for the tech-savvys out there.

So if you want to compare the Ps2 with the PS3 you can, and you can see the big leap Sony made from Ps2 to PS3..

Now, you can't say the same when comparing the GC with the Wii,   GC= CPU+RAM+GPU       Wii= ???? why? what's the big secret.

I don't know much about breaking down numbers and calculation and stuff but I always like to learn and know the specs.

Now, why the specs are not comparable comparing the Wii with Xbox, when last gen they were comparing the Gamecube with the Xbox and its architectures.

 What have changed with the Wii that can't be compared with the Xbox straight up now when the GC and XBOX were being compared last gen and the Xbox won the upper hand.

I didn't "claim" the Xbox was never pushed to its peak, but the images shown above was not what the Xbox was only capable of, -I said while the Wii is closely matching what the Xbox did with ease it putting a strain on the Wii's hardware..

If the Ps2 squeezed out GOW2 graphics.

The Game Cube squeezed RE4 graphics.

The Xbox with Riddick, Doom 3, Halo2 and all the stuff that went on screen at the same time,

I think if the Xbox had a longer shelf life we would've seen the last drop of what it was capable of..
