i wouldn't doubt that the wii is at least 1.2ghz but maybe not it has to be at least better then the original xbox and ps2 probly just under what 360 has

To be honest I predict the graphics to be somewhat more impressive than the Xbox, but not by much. And in the Wii's case it's substance over style anyways. But in no way do I see the Wii matching the shear processing power of the 360, or the PS3. But since it's Nintendo who cares

Yeh I think the Wii is going to be a bit better than the PS2 graphics..... so as much as i would love it to be true..i cant believe it

Even GameCube was better in in graphics than PS2. So Wii will have a lot better graphics.. somewhere between xbox and xbox360. i believe,

between xbox and 360? why not between GC and 360, GC HAD THE SAME GRAPHICS POWER AS XBOX! many people dont relize this, but if rumors are right it should be closer to a 360

Actually it didnt have same graphics power than xbox. better than ps2 but not the same level than xbox.
why so pissed of? I could have said that graphics is somewhere between commodore64 and xbox360 and thats equally truth.

well i think its 3.1Ghz coz remember that french insider who said that nintendo are hiding the real power of the wii's graphics so there!

Jakobthelyre · 09-03-2006, 12:58 AM

yeah i dont believe his theory.

Ketico · 09-03-2006, 03:02 AM

Hey Jakke its me Ketico. Actually the Specs for Gamecube where lower than the specs for Xbox and PS2. In my opinion the games for gamecube looked better than games for PS2 and some better than the original Xbox. When you've been in the business as long as Nintendo, you would know that you don't need super specs to make super graphics. The Wii will be fantastic gracphically.

Jakobthelyre · 09-03-2006, 04:19 AM

yeah i was going to correct jakke but i saw that he posted that in july. that could be up to 2 months ago.

Yes i know the specs was lower, but specs doesnt mean anything. your own eyes tells you what looks good and what doesnt.

How the hell can this be 'REAL' specs when its a rumour

Edit : my mistake

in touch with the wii · 09-03-2006, 04:23 PM

because they called it the real specs

Ketico · 09-04-2006, 02:04 AM

Hey guys it's me Ketico again. I wasn't upset when I talked about the last generation consoles. Just made observations of my experiences with the software. All I'm trying to say is that although Wii's hardware specs are lower than PS3 and Xbox360 they still will look great. Yeah I know that specs are just a small part of the whole equation, but just because they are lower doesn't when anything at all. Check out Final Fantasy III on the DS. Technically it's inferior to PSP, but the hardware hasn't been pushed to it's limit just yet in it's life cycle.

to let people know what ghz and stuff means. in completely eassy to get terms.
ghz is a measure of how much data the processor can 'sort' per second.
the processor has to deal with all the information from all the parts and hand it out to all the parts that need that information. It also does calcualtions on game physics ect. gpu is for graphics, all the HDR and AA and making trees with pretty shadows is done here.
the 'memory' as in physical data memory, like for game data and stuff is supposed to be 512mb (1/2 a gig) with a slot for sd (like camera card memory) on the front.

Wrong!! 1Ghz is 1000Mhz, 1Gb is 1024Mb but that has nothing to do with Hz.

hey

I think the article I have linked to below from AanandTech.com compares the GameCube, Playstation2 and Xbox quite nicely

.

Please see... Hardware Behind the Consoles - Part II: Nintendo's GameCube.

Or more specifically, pages... GameCube vs. PS2 vs. Xbox and Final Words.

Umn dude.. Did you even research the hardware specs of the PS2? It's CPU clocked in at 294Mhz how can you say this is more powerful than the GameCube's 485Mhz CPU? Not to mention the Xbox's 733Mhz CPU. I know the numbers are not important but if you are going to bring up hardware specs at least make sure you have the correct facts.

Besides, the GameCube was certified to be the most efficiently run console of the current-gen, with it using at least 90% of it's hardware capacity, while the Xbox used only 75% of it's hardware capacity. I don't know where the PS2 fits into all of this.
