i dont think nintendo ever released the information during pre-release because they didn't want to enter the war with microft and sony

so the prosseser speed is quite low, but due to the rams clock rating, the system run reli good as a whole.

Lol it's a "Wii site" but I'm just pissed at my Wii at the moment because it isn't giving me any good games, seriously everytime I walk past it I glare at it and taunt it...I pay protection money to my PS2 and PC so that it dosn't get me when I sleep...

Its all good saying how powerful , or not-powerful the Wii is, but say those spec are right how much of that power gets wasted on processing the motion sensor data? Or is it all done with separate hardware then fed into the system?
RerunWii have you ever thought just get games for something else until something you like on Wii comes out? I’m not getting a PS3 until a good range of games i like are out. I only got the Wii near launch for a XMas pres for my 4 & 3 year old sons who get cranky at standard controllers due too far many buttons and confusion(and being a self loading drive means less tissues [my PS2] or other objects get jammed into it, WII + PS3 = more Kid proof).

Every keeps talking about the Nintendo titles, whats going on with Day Of Crisis, Project HAMMER & Sadness. If Ive missed some, and Im sure i have name them, but I want more than MP3-C & Mario or a proper Wii Zelda.
Im wanting a Wave Race 3, 1080 Snow boarding (GCN version was pathetic, cant wait for VC the get the N64 version), F-Zero, Mario Kart from nintendo more than Mario Galaxy or SSBB.

A GCN and a Macintosh? I thought they used an Atari 2600.

But if they had, there'd be more games, wouldn't there

You misread the original post, he said that consoles suck compared to PCs.

And PCs will always be more powerful than consoles, simply because PCs do more, and because consoles must be cheaper than PCs.

yeah but what i'm saying is that even though the figures are lower, consoles still have the best games and are simply the easiest and funnest (most fun?) way to go about playing games: no installing crap, messing about with resolutions and graphic options, controls are usualy very similar to other games of the genre, patches are easy to apply (on Xbox Live), no multiplayer connection issues.

That's why the specs can suck and they are still superior to PCs in all but grahpics but we all have a wii so we dont care about grahpics

Being a PC gamer since before I had a Playstation (the big grey kind!), I see no difference in ease-of-use between a PC and a console — to me it's just install, set graphics options to EXTREME, BABY and rock on. Even patches are just three-click installs these days. The only multiplayer connection issues I've had are the ones that appear on consoles as well: lag and time-out, and controls in PC games within the same genre don't change radically. Unreal Tournament plays like Quake 3, plays like Call of Duty 2, plays like STALKER.

The best games aren't exclusively on consoles, but consoles are popular because, as you said, they are the cheapest way to play new games. When I start a family I'm sure I'll have to cut back radically on PC gaming, or give it up altogether.

Rofl good call. And how is the Wii's disk drive kid proof, I screw putting the disks in all the time....If you have a 4 year old son I would be surprised he/she hasn't slammed the disk into the drive so hard that the console itself spontaneously combusted...

I never said it is kid proof, I said "MORE KID PROOF" as my PS2 had a tissue stuck inside around the lazer, I only found that cuz i got sick of DVD stop working after i play them a few times, as a tissue didnt realy leave a huge scratch i didnt see what was happening, until I opened it up. The GCN had chip and all sorts of food jammed under the disc lid. By the way I have 4 kids 2 older boys 5 & 4, Girls 19 and 7months, so the less things thap pop up and move in & out that get there attention the better.

No, typewriters are too awesome to be part of the Wii.

I would have settled for GCN, first-generation 'portable' laptop, and photo frame.
