It doesn't have similar specs to Ps3 or Xbox360. Period. |
"The Wii isn't just a last gen system. It has similar specs, but the components are based on the efficiency standards now, not then. Of course the 360 and PS3 get the same benefits, but the point is that the Wii does too."
This is what I wrote. It does not claim that the Wii has similar specs than the 360 and PS3. It just points out that the components with those specs are still five years ahead of the 6th gen systems.
For one thing, the Wii and Xbox's CPU have the same speeds, but the Wii's CPU uses less electricity, and is overall more powerful. And according to unofficial reports, the Wii's CPU has the execution unit's which add to the processing the CPU can do. The Xbox's CPU could not handle all the Wii channels.
For another, the Wii has as much memory as the Xbox and Gamecube combined. That means it has merely a fifth as much memory as the PS3 and 360, while the actual sitxh gen systems have an eigth at best.
As for GPUs, of course it's not enough having half the clock speed, and simply having more pixel and shading pipelines, but it still puts it well ahead of the 6th gen GPUs.
In short, the Wii of course can't match the PS3 and 360. Yet its specs are not as far behind them as systems an actual generation behind.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
