Ram is memory, but memory isn't always ram. An example of memory that isn't ram is Flash Memory which is a type of ROM(Read only Memory).  The Wii has 88mb of Ram in total. 24mb of internal T-Sram, and 64mb of external GDDr3.

It's hard to believe the Wii is so weak compared to the other two systems.

It was ajoke from a awesome show.

Go watch IT crowd.

It just felt relevant to post instead of posting another fail pic like others have already in this terrible but funny topic.

It actually is very weak compared to the other two, but it is also significantly better than last generation. I stick with my stance that I made a LONG time ago. The distance power-wise between the Wii and HD Consoles is similar to the distance between the Wii and PS2. Now that was when I was very ignorant and foolish and thought I knew things I didnt, but it still seems like a fair  way to put things. Another fair way to put it is that the Wii has enough power to make the best looking games that run at 480p as their standard output. So Wii games have the potential to look just as good as hd console games when they are both running at 480p, like always with exceptions of course.

That's a good way of putting it. I never thought of it like that.

How about no.

Graphically speaking, top teir HD games look way much better than top tier wii games.

Now when all is played on a 480p set, the HD games still look better, with high rez textures, draw distances, lighting, and so forth, but now they have the added bonus of having almost zero jaggies, it has to do with the fact that the HD console still render the games in HD resolution but then downscaling them to 480p, in essence almost like SSAA, end result = HD games still look much better than wii games when top teir games are compared at 480p.

Now if the HD console were to set all their games rendering resolution to 480p targets like the wii, then the extra power freed up by dropping resolution can make games look even better than those of their HD counter part in regards to image quality, end result = HD machines significantly increasing their lead from the wii's top tier graphics.

Either way you cut it, the HD machines will always win out regardless of the resolution there games are rendered in when compared to the wii.

I know you will most likely disagree because for some reason you want to convince your self that the wii is capable of HD graphics but an SD resolution, and to be quite honest, that's dumbest thing one could think...just by looking at the specs of the wii and the games that are actually out there, this delusional thought will never come true, no matter how you hard you may try.

Now I'm not saying the wii graphics capability is completely crap, because they can be quite good in there own right when accompanied with a good art style, and that's great since the wii wasn't meant to be a graphics power house unlike it competition, plus we all know that Nintendo stance has always been gameplay over graphics, especially this generation.

In any case take this as you like.
