ifs theres one dev that could beat HVS in the graphics department, itll be factor 5

As much as I dont like The Conduits cliche look, I have to admit, they could doo miracles with the tech on the Wii ;) Nice read, tough seeing most games I still bealive that the Wii is not as powerfull as this articles makes many to believe ;)

The Gamecube and XBox were similar in overall performance, and each of them edged out the other in certain areas which (in most cases) were heavily used to create their best looking games. Without any official specifications on the Brodway or Hollywood processors it is impossible to compare the Wii to other systems ... What I have seen in the best games is the Wii is noticeably more powerful than the Gamecube and the XBox.

 He was just taking a humorous (but realistic) approach to explaining the Wii's hardware. Who said he is convincing the PS360 fans specifically of anything? It is a Nintendo-oriented site. Why call him a fanboy if that point is obviously made clear?

i've given up trying to talk about power, because it doesn't even really matter to me.

i've actually worked on a couple of simple games (using gme maker) and i made a game a few years ago with decent 2d graphics, but it was slamed for having crappy gameplay. now i'm working on a game for my senior project with very simplistic graphics (like literally a grey block for walls and a blue circle for the balls) and most everybody that has played it has praised it because it's just fun to play.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Yup, it's 2.8ghz :)

well as a proponent of powerpc id call your 5 a bit of a stretch, it is far more dependent on which family of ppc they are based on yours is based on what apple called power3 a good chip to be sure, and it could hand it to pentium II whcih it was much faster then at the time, the top end of the chip that i have seen is 2ghz dual 2, not bad, but the 5x your stating is something apple pushed back in the day and started with the power4 which is a freescale/motorola chip, so you missed out there. the power 3 is closer to 3 times per mhz and a big part of that is alvetech something that is not on any of the console chips since its very hard to program for. dont get me wrong its a great chip, its been engineered to be supremely efficient and reduce errors when computing.

on top of that if you want to comapre to the hd twins both are based off of what apple called power 5 (ibm called it power4, but is in no way related to the development of the power 4 by free scale) this chip does not actually conform to all the specifications in the power charter, but is very powerfullchip, the downside to it has been the heat it puts off, and scaling problems, one reason why apple parted with it so quickly. both the cell and the chip in the 360 have been stripped of many technologies in the core to allow for it to be speed up and kept cooler, the cell was radically altered and now has its own development linage. the chip inside the 360, however is not that dissimilar late model powermacs can run xbox360 games with the right firm ware, but most likely would have to scale the fx down. this does create the question of why we havent seen hacks to do this

so your post is partially right, yes its power is deceiving, yes it is more powerful then last gen, no its not quite five, and yes it can push some nice graphics, though the floating points on that chip is not as good as what would come latter in the power series, so its ai is hindered in comparison to 360 and ps3

yea its good. So wtf is wrong with the rest of them?

Stop your nonsense! Everyone knows that the Wii is less powerful than the PS2, and that The Conduit looks worse than Killzone 1.

;(

I'm not so sure about the "3 XB + 2 PS2" formula... I might put it at just "3 XB" instead.
