Now as far as the graphics chip, this is where the experienced collide with the graphic whores.

A graphics whore will always say that it is crappy.  There reason?  Becuase it is not supporting higher resolutions.

A very experienced person would say that it is inconclusive.  The Wii GPU does not need to draw to a screen with more than 409K pixels.  The other consoles have to draw to 2.08 million pixels at maximum.  The smaller area allows the GPU to work on elements other than resolution.  The GPU can have the rendering abilities of ATi's latest GPUs with limited resolution to 852x480x60.  Thus saying, the Wii GPU can be more powerful than that of the X360 and PS3 GPUs.

may I would support you point in a very general aspect... theres a thing called reality, and theres always enough arguments to paint that reality like you want it to be.... but honestly, you must not think what you are writing, but writing what you are thinking... giving the fact you are thinking, not just writing... :D

So because of this only "selling" titles are being produced, and what titles sell? Well the ones that most people who own the console want. And who are these people? Simple teenagers who know nothing about gaming and just want to be "cool". And what is "cool" to them? Simple anything appealing...

I totally agree with you. But I would like to take that further by saying that basicly everybody today wants to be a "teenager" and everyone is behaving and thinking like one, cause they like it that way...

gaming is an industry and not what it was six years ago anymore, its like hollywood... exactly like it...

but this is a fact and cant be changed only be faced... and even when its an industry, its possible to have games wich are an expression of creativity and intellect ... but cause it is an industry it is driven by mainstream-content... and only on the far top of all that average, unsubstantiel content, are the real gems, the products of high quality and depht, wich not only feed an urge you are already possesing but able to open you up to new thoughts and views...

but those games made by real people for real poeple will happen outside of that industry, but they will almost rule the industry from that outside-position just by its pure quality....

but those "real" developers will be working with the best equipment available, and using the advanced algorithyms made, to fullfill there visions of telling a story through gameplay and interaction...

they will not be found in that field of the mainstream-industry shaping the core of it and producing avarage mediocre titles... to face reality big N. suffered a lot with the "flop" of the gamecube... and saw his only change to survive by feeding that mainstream-core of the industry... by forcing new audience for there systems offering a gaming-expierience in handeld-quality in XXL...

 to be honest what is the Wii-mote other than the at-home version of the DS-concept...?

so big-N isnt offering a platform anymore that can support the real creative portion of developers, cause the advancement is only made at the top of the whole development/Industry...

and if anything could proof the newly created formula "gamplay over graphics" it would be FLOW... but Sony has soaked in the whole "motion-sensing offering something inovative" thing... and the attempts to tack on motion-sensing to most of the Wii-games seems a bit pathetic....

and I am afraid there will be nothing nice for the Wii when the titles original made for gamecube, wich was technical-leader of its generation, are through....

math-intensive processes, but when it comes to more general-purpose tasks like integers, logic, and conditionals (common occurrences in physics and AI calculations), there's a big fat question mark.

what are integers, logic or conditionals if not math-intensive operations.... what are you talking about, if ya dont mind me ask...

the cell was developed as all-purpose chip... but not for PC or home-computers...

it was designed for devices such as mobile-phons, microwave-heaters, dvd-players and stuff...

its a cluster-system, wich means it can addapt itself to the specific task you want it to do...

of course inside the PS3 the cell is supported by SD-RAM, blueray and other advanced components...

may you can remeber they talked about having all PS3 consoles, wich will be online at the same time across the planet, could work togehter, sharing ressources and calculations via internet....  with all the individual consols as CELLs, forming a bigger organism when conected online...

okay, that was before the cell was fully developed,

Both Xbox360 & PS3 seems to focus on gamers & gamers only. That's why I think the Wii will stay in the top.

And what is the WII aiming for, that it will stay on top? ...aiming for idiots, cause the world is full of them. Now imagine that every idot will have a Wii, like a DS ... or a iPod

but honestly, I prefer to have a gaming-machine wich is focused on gaming and gamers...

the only use for the Wii will be internet-browsing and purchasing and the VirtualConsole as a place to collect ancient and "classic" games online... yeah its clearly focused on people addicted to consumeing and purchasing image-driven, nonsubstantial goods,  to fill the empty boring lifespan of uncreative citiziens brainwashed by mass-media-trash not able to contribute anything to society....

maybe thats true for every gaming-device ever made, but the Wii clearly lacks the essential things to provide a modern video-gaming experience, and still is bought by all you people... and therfore the Wii is perfect example like the biggest and phoniest crap can sell very well, if just the marketing and the provided image feeds the illusion planted in the heads of the suggestible audience 

gameplay over graphics... HAHA -> the SNES and the N64 where graphical superior and had the beloved big-N gameplay... the gamecube was graphical superior and a little bit of the beloved big-N gameplay, and now N. decided to turn there whole marketing-waggon and all of a sudden graphics are not more importent AND all fans are willing to follow that new parol blindly without asking them selfes if they really have to follow evry 180°turn-BS a company is putting out, just because they would call  themselfes a fan of some aspects of the companys products...

gameplay over graphics... thats true, but it does not mean that the graphics can be BS or outdated just because theres a futuristic sensing device attached to it... anf I am not willing to jump through that loop just because big-N isnt able to effort next-gen graphics in the new system, or even enough cpu-power to make online-multiplayer possible...

honestly, if you still cant see the JOKE behind the whole Wii thing.... you still cant see it...

greetz, hitm

 $50 for Donkey Kong on the nes only to find out it was a 10 year old game with 3 levels

HAHA... priceless!!!  ...hail to the king! :D

ok, the best game for the system now is Warioware... and some VC titels... the Wii must be the overhyped stillbirth of all times... mybe "N" is holdin control over there fanbase with additives in influenca injections...
