I don't know a lot about why graphics are good and all that. But anyway, I checked up some numbers.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_(sixth_generation)

The Xbox has 733 MHz CPU

233 MHz GPU

64 MB RAM.

The Wii has (According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_(seventh_generation)#Handheld_systems)

729 Mhz CPU

243 Mhz GPU

24 mb Internal ram and 64mb external ram which means totally 88 mb ram.

This means that the Xbox has 4 mhz more CPU

The Wii has 10 mhz more GPU

The Wii has 24 mb more RAM.

So the Wii beats the strongest 6th generation console, but not by enough to make a big difference.

But shouldn't also the software has improved? So the CDs are stronger?

Anyway, look at the difference from X360 to Ps3 to Wii (From wiki again)

Ps3 and Xbox360 CPU = 3,2 Ghz. Wii CPU = 729 Mhz. X360 and Ps3 + 2471.

Xbox 360 GPU = 500mhz Ps3 GPU= 550 mhz.Wii GPU =243 Mhz. Ps3 GPU = 50+ X360 and 307+ Wii. X360 GPU = 257 mhz + Wii

And the memory stuff (which I don't understand at all :( )

X360

512 MB GDDR3 @ 700 MHz shared between CPU & GPU
10 MB EDRAM GPU frame buffer memory

Ps3

256 MB XDR @ 3,2 GHz
256 MB GDDR3 @ 700 MHz, GPU can access CPU memory

Wii

24 MB "internal" 1T-SRAM integrated into graphics package
64 MB "external" GDDR3 SDRAM
3 MB GPU frame buffer memory.

So IMO the Wii clearly isn't as strong as many sheep claim it to be :cry: (including me, before this :cry: )

And, for the Poll. If you have read this far, and think that the Wii is stronger, then say "I like Cheese" If you think the Xbox 1 is stronger vote "I like Pie" I did it this way to check if people actually read the post, before polling.

EDIT:

Afew people here have said that the XB was the WEAKEST 6th gen console, according to my numbers that is wrong, therefore I am posting the numbers.

The Xbox has 733 MHz CPU

233 MHz GPU

64 MB RAM.

The gamecube

485mhz CPU

162mhz GPU

40MB RAM

The Playstation 2¨

294mhz CPU

147mhz GPU

32MB Ram

So the XBOX is better in all the occasions, I do not bother doing the math now

I think to go by a user score would be very naive simply because many fanboys rate another systems games 1.0 or 0.5 without playing it. I'm not a big fan of movie reviews because that can be wholly one persons opinion, however in a game like Lair it was technically (ie. graphically, or fram rate wise) inept, thus it's low score. Your argument is kind of right, yet i think game reviews can hold some weight about whether you purchase a game or a persons feelings towards it. Then again there are some games that your gonna buy regardless of what a reviewer says (a la Halo 3, MGS4)big_pimpin_99

Use the average rewiev score and use a calculator to sum up 5-6 pages. And leave out the 1's and 10's

Since 1998 with N64

I just love ripping out poe's souls lol and I love using the finishing move!guyguyguy1234

ARE YOU NUTS? that was no fun at all! `But too many great things for me to decide :(

so far BIOSHOCK is the king of this gen

heres my rankings of this gen

1. bioshock

2. gears of war

3. heavenly sword

4. the darkness

5. resistance fall of man

tidus222

Except of the fact that the mostselling game this gen is TP (after 360 launch is this gen)

1.5 on GC 3.7 on Wii... But if you don't want sales to count then... naah still tp for me :P and seriously, HS doesn't beat oblivion

according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_%28seventh_generation%29

The ps3 has higher GPU

I'm happy you liked it :)
