Every website I go to there are limited specs on the wii. I'm trying to compare it to the original xbox and want to know its max polygon performance but I can't find it anywhere. I found the xbox 360s and ps3s but I can't find the wiis. It would really help if anybody knows. Thank you.

Its fun to compare though. LOL Well there still hope that people who made a teardown on the wii know.

Yeah, polygon count never mattered in the first place. Things like that are usually brought on by video game makers, its essentially jargon to make people thing something is powerful, when really it doesnt mean shit, as there so much more that makes a system.

thats a lame excuse IMO

Specs are usually nonsense; RE4 had far beyond the GC's maximum polygon count, for example

@prlatino I know but it is still part of the system even if its not a significant part. Somebody said in another thread that the xbox original was more powerful than the wii. I just wanted the info so i could add that to my reasons why it isn't.

The Gamecube was able to produce 12 to 15 Million polygons in game with full texturing and lighting effects; the Wii has some (unknown) hardware enhancements over the Gamecube but, being that the Gamecube was pusing the limits of what SD resolutions can display in terms of polygon output per frame, it is unlikely that Nintendo spent much attention to improving polygon performance.

In other words, the Wii can probably achieve 18 to 22.5 Million polygons per second which equates to the improvement due to the clockspeed increase.

@ happysquirell What did the xbox original produce. It says something like 115 on specs I found. Here this is it Max Polygon Performance 125 M/sec.

a HELL of a lame excuse for sure. Yes, Nintendo believe it doesn't matter, YES, Nintendo is winning, and Yes, it never truly mattered, but refuse to disclose it because they don't think it matters?

The same thing is with Nintendo's recycling/environmental policy. It got 0 because they felt there's no need to state that in their website. I suppose that The time when enviormental policy alone made an important difference is over too,

In terms of real world polygon performance the Gamecube and XBox were very similar, most of the differences between the systems were in how they handled texturing and lighting.
