For the love of god it DOESN'T!!!! All i EVER hear is "The wii has gimmicy controls," (ok fine your opinon), "and gamecube hardware." NO. YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. It's been proven that the wii has TWO TIMES the processing power and graphical capability of the gamecube. TWO TIMES...let's see, if you have 10 apples, 2x that amount of apples is 20 apples. Big difference see? If you have 1 girlfriend, 2x the number of girlfriends you have = 2 girlfriends! BIG DIFFERENCE THERE!

It even has processing power BEYOND the xbox and ps2!!! So you ignorant wii haters you CANNOT say the wii is LAST GEN hardware or GAMECUBE hardware. Because you are DEAD WRONG. You read it here, so stop posting stupid stuff like that.

They'll give you crap like "It hasn't been proven yet". The specs proved it. The Wii is stronger than last-gen consoles.

And I remember it saying the Wii can do things the Xbox can't as well as the other way around.

Here is the Fifa producer agree'ing

"It's about as powerful as the original Xbox," he said. "The video hardware unfortunately is not as powerful. There's just a couple of key things that you can do on Xbox like shaders which you just cannot do on the Wii... Overall though it's pretty much what the original Xbox was."

About as powerful means less or equal to. ouch!

Several people have stated that the hardware is nothing more than an overclocked Gamecube or that it is very similar to the Xbox (even in some regards not as powerful because of shaders). But also there's been no games released that realy coulnd't have been done on the Gamecube hardware either.

I wouldn't be advertising that. The games look so bad, you'd think there was SNES hardware in there.

I'm guessing you didn't read it did you. He states the video hardware is LESS powerful, but the console overall is about as powerful. Funny how he doesn't say the word GPU once?

You said the article states is a little more powerful. It states it's less or equal to as powerful. How does that equate to more? thats how.

It states as I said, it had less Power in the part of shaders and such spesifically, as I said. That is not spesifically power. It's been stated that in otehr interviews, but also brought up it has a bit more raw power than hte original xbox I believe.

Well....

It's a crack made by people to mock the Wii.

It's somewhat true, 2x is pathetic for a next gen console.

Also Wii has 16 TEV (Texture Environmental Velocity) units. In contrast GC had only 4.

Well you obviously don't understand computer hardware at all. The Wii has the same archiechture as the gamecube at a higher clock speed with more Ram. Increasing clock speeds and upping the ram without changing anything fundamental at all is not a generational shift.

It's like the difference between a low-end graphics card and a high-end graphics card from 6 years ago..... both are so outdated the difference is negligible.

hate to break it to the TC but the wii is really just a last gen console with a new facelift and controller. Paying $250 for hardware that should cost no more than $199 even with wii sports is pure milkage from nintendo. However it is still fun just over priced for what you actually get. Also on a side note to manufacture a wii mote would cost less than $10-15 and that including the numchuck, so that shouldnt increase price
