No offense to the Wii, but I had had the impression that Spore was going to be too demanding of hardware for the Wii to handle -- what has made this dream possible?

I'd say over 13 million units sold in less than a year probably had something to do with it.

Yep, that.

Also Final-Fan, how would you know it was too demandind to Wii's hardware... if pretty much NOBODY knows their complete specs? All that we've got is a bunch of guessing, dissing and crap. No real numbers.

Look, I love the Wii, and I'm sure we will see people squeeze some amazing technical feats out of that hardware over the years, but it will never, ever be as powerful as the PS3, let alone PCs.  I simply thought, from various things I heard over the months, that Spore was going to demand hardware performance that was simply beyond the modest capabilities of the Wii. 

Extrapolating from FreeTalkLive's info, there'll probably be entirely different versions for the PC, DS, and cell phones; the Wii game may be tuned down from the PC, souped up from the DS, or a different beast altogether. 

Frankly, having so many different versions of this game sounds overly ambitious even for Will Wright.  I hope it turns out OK.
