Apple sells 20 million in a quarter with new models, colors, etc... Not the exact same product for 18 months.

I already told you why production couldn't be ramped up and you're incorrect about the tech...again. Most chipsets prior to 2008 were 130 nm. Wii is 90 nm as is the GPU. The accelerometers from AD and STM are used in many very expensive high tech devices. The MoSys 1t-SRAM is very high end RAM. The disc drive is one of the only in the world that is slot loading and accepts 2 different sized discs. The Mitsumi Wi-Fi is actually a highly specialized Linux Broadcom 4813 chipset.

You just don't want to admit that the Wii is actually pretty damn high tech.
I knew that the "outdated technology" was bunk but I never saw all those specifics laid out in one post until now. Well done, my friend.

And the external RAM is GDDR3, the same type the 360 and PS3 use for some of their RAM. Sure it's a quarter the size, and speed, but that's to reduce cost and power consumption. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
