The Nintendo Wii international press conferences thread

[Yoshi]

I want to play this game.

I'll sell you a 15 year-old Thai cross-dresser for $50 because a Vegas call girl costs $200.

I'll sell you this Big Mac for $10. The price is reasonable because a Filet Mignon costs $18.

Your analogies suck

Even if that's true SMG doesn't look any better than an Xbox game either.

Your blind. What first gen xbox game looks better than SMG.

[Joust Williams]

Half of them.

Then blame that on the developers. The hardware is significantly more powerful.

No one bought this argument when almost all the Xbox 360 launch games looked current gen.

I also would like to see the hardware that is significantly more powerful than an Xbox.

Pointing out that people were wrong before regarding shitty launch games isn't really helping your case.

That's why I asked for hardware specs. I'm not on any side of a war here other than the pricing being fucking ridiculous.

Nintendo doesn't seem to care about hardward specs. Hell, we don't even know how much space the disks hold, just that they're 10 cm round & shiny data storage units. I realize the point is to avoid getting into a tech pissing contest they can't win (or, looked at another way, a tech pissing contest they don't want to reveal how badly they're losing by) but it's still aggravating.

Buying one anyway, of course. I'd just be happier to know what kind of horsepower is under the hood.

About all anyone knows for sure is the cpu and gpu are based on GC's and both of their clockspeeds have been doubled. So basically it should be about four times more powerful than GC, so that means it should be about four times more powerful than XBox. Of course there's more to it than that, but we don't know enough details about it.

I'm pretty sure processor speed doesn't work like that, but I could be very wrong.
