Do PS3 or XBOX360 have enough juice to run SimCity 4?

LoL, the Wii could run that game.

So yes, the PS3 and 360 have enough juice, to answer your original question :)

My old desktop is twice that recomended specs at the least. And I still had to play with minimum settings when the city grew some.

That minimum specs right there, you probably get frozen by the 10th building.

So, no, Wii definitely can't run it. Unless all the cities are the smallest size and all the buildings are exactly the same sprites.

PC games also have the problem with the minimum/recommended specs.

minimum specs = unplayable

recomended specs = lowest possible settings with some slow downs

At least, that's based on my experience with PC games...

Also, Civ4 is no where near as resource intensive as SimCity4.

Here's a vid on youtube as example,
