Instead of pointing an laughing I'll just answer the question. The 360 is far more powerful than the Wii and everything tech related that could be done on the Wii could be done on the 360 but applied in tenfold. The only thing the Wii has over its competition is a functioning motion controller.

The Wii because everyone knows that the smaller a system is the more powerful it is! Just like hippos!

Should be quite obvious when you know that... powah & sales are directly correlated so it must be the one that sold the most - easy right ? :twisted:

:lol:

Wii is most certainly the most powerfull....

money printing machine.:P

Computing power wise...let's just say Nintendo still doesn't have the guts to reveal it's specs to the public even though it has an assured victory in the console wars for a while.

Poor Comparison

The wii can also handle higher shaders than the xbox 360

falldogout
Poor comparison. You're comparing two different things that have different functions. And the Wii cannot handle higher shaders than the Xbox 360. This is why there is no Oblivion, GTAIV or Fallout 3 on the Wii.

comparing games of similar styles should solve this immediatly

first and foremost

Mario Galaxy:

Super Mario Galaxy Picture
Compared to:

Nuts and Bolts:
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Screenshot

Next lets check out the FPS genre...

Wii:

Metroid Prime 3(lol I got no clue at all why I put conduit here originally :P)

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Screenshot

360:
Halo 3 ODST:
Halo 3: ODST Screenshot

next up lets get some racing games in here, the easiest way to do this would be to compare a multiplat game thats on both platforms naturally soo

DIrt 2 (wii edition):

Dirt 2 Picture

Dirt 2(360 edition)
Dirt 2 Screenshot

now, of course this is all opinion, But I think its fairly obvious that the Wiiis by far not even in the same league as the 360 in terms of power.

from a hardware standpoint, the wii is banquet pot pie whilst the xbox 360 is a whole buffet of every type of delicious steak imaginable, however the wii is definitely a more powerful money maker

Don't get me wrong I love it's art style, but you have to stay far away from the screen because of the resolution.

sigh, sometimes I wonder about IGN, this is around the third time Ive fallen into the issue of them posting a wrong platforms pics in a differetn platforms section... if It werent for the fact that there image selection is much better then most other sites have to offer Id have moved somewhere else for these kinda threads images by now.

The Wii is more powerful than a RRoD'd 360 which happens 54% of the time so I guess it would be accurate to say that the Wii is more powerful most of the time :)

Actually the wii may use DVD for medium but it can't play DVD movies. Maybe next gen Nintendo? 2015 the Nintendo console can finally play DVD movies!! YAY!! Oh and it cant do shaders either , at all. It has to combine multiple texture layers together to simulate shader effects. It has Hardware Accelerated Transformation and Lighting ... which is roughly comparable to a Geforce2 circa 2001. DirectX7 baby, now were talking! wooo that's some heavy hardware! All Joking aside the WII is a bit less powerful then a first gen xbox. It has the same speed CPU (but xbox1 cpu was stornger pentium 3 was a beast for its time!) and The xbox had a custom Geforce3 chip the first gpu with Shaders. Wii is using a souped up gamecube Cpu and GPU - suped up in speed not functions like programmable shaders or anyhing good like that. Hence why nintendo probalby makes 75% profit off every console sold.

Why does a game console need DVD play back? I use game consoles to play games not to watch movies. Why would I care if it did because I could get a real DVD player for less than 40$? That's even less then a new Wii game.
