Get back on topic here. Why is the Wii 2/3rd the speed of "the competitors" machine?

Also, Chronicles of Riddick blew anything the GC had out of the water. I think it was one of the best looking games last gen, and still looks damn good by todays standards as well. You wanna speak of power optimization. Look at the PS2. It has almost 1/10th the power of the x-box, and can do FF12, and look so damn good.

Um, isn't this underlining my point? According to you PS2 had one-tenth the power of its direct competitor the XBox 1 and was STILL able to put out a high quality experience.

I saw Tekken 5 on my friend's PS2 a few months ago and I couldn't see the big deal people made about graphics needing to improve so much. The game looked and sounded great to me. All the characters were vivid in color, had detail and the motion was smooth. It had realism. I couldn't see the big deal about this up the graphics argument and that was supposed to be the weakest of the 6th gen systems. The intro screens were wonderful and were as crisp as a TV show or a movie. On the PS2!

What I'm telling you is to stop looking at cold hard specs to decide the power of the systems. XBox 360 & PS3 have negligible differences in output. All that differential is marketing hype. And though Nintendo isn't lauding system power over the others the Wii is not that weak. It's not just a Gamecube in another box. It's how those components WORK TOGETHER that decide how good the output is. And you can't necessarily see that through ~Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor big numbers = more power ARK ARK ARK~ type of mindset. The power is NOT on the paper and going to wikipedia to see all 3 systems written specs side by side will show you that.

It's not the individual components; it's the components in tandem working together that give a system its output potential. And also there's more than one way to skin a cat. This is not a binary game. The talent lies in the programmers and the artists.
