wow... what a way to super-generalize it all.

Wii to 360 was also fully different architecture, lacked major shaders and other tech, and 20x lower in raw power.
WiiU to nextbox/PS4 has similar architecture, same shaders/other tech, and closer 4-5x lower in raw power.

Big difference sir.

You can't just go "the clock speed is 4mhz slower so the CPU is weaker". A Pentium 4 clocked at 3ghz is A LOT weaker than a basic Core 2 Duo clocked at 1,5 Ghz, and that's even an old architecture.

For facts: the Wii cpu is much more capable than the Xbox's. The Xbox GPU was a beast with its programmable shaders and even though it's clocked lower it was more useful for most developers than the Wii's GPU.

All in all the Wii definitely is a bit more powerful than the Xbox, but only when utilized correctly, which very few developers actually did.

ohhh you.

I'm surprised that out of all the developers who could have taken advantage of the Wii hardware was High Voltage Software.

And once again, the GPU is slightly faster. The big difference, of course, is the amount of memory, with Nintendo's console having 1 whole gigabyte available for games, almost double the RAM that 360 games have to work with.

YOU forgot one very important factor, memory bandwidth, 360 is 2x faster, thats why you see the new lego game and zombie with extremely long load times and severe pop up in the lego game.

Ion think PEzus wrote this lol.

lol oops.
