For the ghostbusters guy asking, my assumption is that Nintendo decided not to guy high specs like Microsoft and Sony and took a gamble and focused on motion based gameplay. They weren't in the best situation in the gaming market with rumors that they were thinking of leaving the gaming industry all together before the announcement of the "revolution".

They took the low specs in order to produce a system that would generate profit from day 1, and be accessible to the consumers seeking the console. Now im sure you people forgot this, but during E3 2005? Nintendo announced they were going to show people some of the best graphics ever possible on the Wii.. this was back when it was the revolution and the controller had yet to be revealed. So clearly there strategy changed from 2005 and on.. Sony simply failed to capture a significant market with the PS3 (atleast compared to wii) because of there price.. and they did the exact opposite nintendo did, relase a console at a loss from day 1, and at a price were consumers could not pay.

I can't remember a time when Nintendo has never done this... Nintendo waits until they can develop a machine with the specs they want at a price the consumers can afford and it won't mean them taking a loss.
