Wii's graphically superior to anything last generation!

I think most people agree that the evidence shows that the Wii is not much more powerful than last gen, no matter the architecture.  Also, if you want to argue that...there's a reason that Apple switched to Intel chips, their architecture is better anyway.  Apple has been slower for years, so I'm not sure how you can argue that the PowerPC is that much better than the P3, but it really doesn't matter.

If the clockspeed posted above is right, then the Wii is far more powerful than the X-Box. So I don't agree. And Apple switched to Intel, after Intel switched the architecture to cores. So with the core-architecture the clockspeed can be much lower for the same processing-power. The apples wasn't slower than a PC before, they were much more expensive. Actually supercomputers were built with apple-processors. And I think Apple switched to Intel, because Intel made a good deal for Apple. Thats much more important. Look at the other hand, that this gen every game-console-maker switched to PPC-architecture.

Not only did they all switch over to PowerPC architecture but they also switched over to the GameCubes design of having the GPU in the center talking directly to the RAM.
