I've seen the specs and there it is a difference
Processors:
wii
CPU: , reportedly? clocked at 729 MHz
GPU: ATI GPU made 243 MHz
Those are for xbox(original)
CPU 733 MHz Intel Pentium III-based Mobile Celeron
GPU 233 MHz nVidia NV2A
So wii may be more powerful than xbox by being more efficient and can could handle the gameplay but it wouldn't be the similar and had to cut things out.
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. |
If the system that more powerful than he GC and Xbox, then why do all the big Wii titles look like GC games? Galaxy is only marginally better than Sunshine, MP3 marginally better, Brawl the same, Zelda since it was just a port, etc. That is your subjective opinion on the graphics. In terms of actual detail, those games, aside from Zelda, but including No More Heroes, are past what the GC can handle. Are you saying that not only did Nintendo not bother using HD hardware that they are also barely bothering to use the hardware improvements as well? Just because you don't see they are doesn't mean they aren't. Edit: It just seems to me that they know Wii owners aren't going to care if the graphics improve and in fact fans are praising the graphical "enchancements" at the same time they say HD graphics don't matter. I think that's mission accomplished for Nintendo. I just wish fans would stop kiddin themselves and just enjoy the Wii for what it is instead of arguing that it is something that it isn't. |
