No game on the looks better than The chronicles of RIddick on xbox.
I would say the xbox and wii are on equal power, but since the wii has to process the motion technology which requires a little of processor we see a graphical dip.

uh..... on the what? btw I think Ninja Gaiden Xbox or RE4 GCN looked better than Riddick, Riddick is pretty much shades of grey and brown, reminds me of Doom 3 though.

Here are some more comparisons.
Graphics card:
Xbox - 233 MHZ
Wii- 243 MHZ
RAM (memory):
Xbox: 64 MB
Wii: 24 MB with external 64 MB. The difference isn't that great.

you know you have no idea what you are talking about right? electronics don't work like muscle cars. I'm not going back to dig out the old thread again, Wii is quiet beyond Xbox, just not anywhere close to 360 or PS3.

while i don't care much about graphics, and i love my wii, i know that my console doesn't have that many great looking games, but i couldn't care less since i got Punch Out :P

You're right. I don't know what I'm talking about. I want to learn more about comparing these types of things. I just don't know where to start with all the brands out there and technology advancing the way it is.

but this was discussed months ago, with you being in that old thread lol, I remember it.

Yes but the Wii is more EFFICIENT than Xbox. Like in PCs, a Pentium E2180 runs at 2.0GHz and so Does a Core2Duo e4400 however the duo has more cache and a higher FSB. Core2Duos in the 2 GHz range smoke pentium 4s in the 3GHz range. Some 512MB graphics cards perform better than 1GB cards. Numbers alone arent enough, efficiency. RE4 on GC (400 and something MHz) looked as good as several Xbox games (733MHz). I think its clear that the Wiis processing power should be equal to a 1 point something Ghz Pentium machine.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

GCN lost in storage size because Nintendo has always been retarded when it came about media for the most part even with the Wii not supporting dual-layer in the begining until brawl came out. that 1.4gb restriction really fucked some games on content or texture detail because not every dev was using S3TC so a lot of games would look like shit(smeared to hell,) that and TEV was not easy to master of course.

They both have the same processing speed of 733MHZ. Don't know about the ram or graphics card, though.

Didn't I already explain to you in a thread once that the PowerPC CPU in the Wii > Modded Intel P3 in the Xbox? by a lot?

by alot it's a going abit overboard.

by numbers Cell destroy everything on the market and double the power of the 360.

but when the gpu are similar being 360 easier to program... and most developer don't use the cpu to do things like offloading the gpu tasks u end up with a subpart port because of the use of engines that don't work with the cell and RSX.

if programmers can use the cpu and gpu efficient you will stay at 6th gen graphics. if the wii was released at the same time of GC the story would have been different.

You are talking about ease of development, which has nothing to do with this thread. The Wii easily has higher potential than the Xbox , it's not even a contest.
