Nintendo have said the same thing actually. So theres no real connection between the two concepts.

The difference is Wii's specs are obviously inferior while 360 actually has good specs. It's just unreliable.

 

Semantics...

The ATI 5970 has between 12 and 15* more 3d performance than the PS3. Does the Wii look equally obsolete? Yep!

Now that's a huge exaggeration, isn't it? I'd estimate the ATI 5970 has 7-8 times (tops) more 3d performance than the PS3's Nvidia7800 equivalent.

HD 5870 has:

• 3B transistors vs ~300M
• 1-2GB ram vs 256MB
• 150GB/S B/W vs 25GB/S
• Unified Shaders, Compute shaders, tessellation etc = much more efficient at implementing high end shaders/compute vs ???
• 875Mhz clock speed vs 500mhz (confirmed from B3d developers)
• 200W of heat vs ~40?

And the 5970 is ~ 180% of that.
