these analysts really grind me down, how much does Michael Pachter get paid to spew out this noise.

what happened to all the 'analysts' predictions about the outcome of this generations console war? i seem to remember the ps3 streaking ahead again with wii coming a poor third.

My apologies, just defending myself, there are many people that jump in with unbelievably silly things around here sometimes, and I just get tied of it.

I had thought you had referenced HD video playback. I was just stating that the Wii had more than enough power for that, and higher resolution 3D (though it significantly less detailed than what we expect today, which I actually agreed with you on). DVD players and PC's are also comparable to the Wii for obvious reasons, all computing devices, and I am pretty sure we have had 3D HD like games that work on less than 91MB, 700Mhz PC's. So, I was never trying to compare it as equatable to what present day higher performance PC's can do, but older ones. You can design 3D graphics to be resolution independent (within certain limits of practicality etc). But of course I ws suggesting, if they upgraded the Wii's performance. You could design games to automatically be rendered in SD on the old Wii's, as they did with PC's too. However, with some limitations you can upscale Wii games to HD. Placement, and miniature feature side might be an problem, but apart from that 3D graphics lend themselves very well to upscaling.

But all in all, the Wii, is an three trick Pony, it has the ultra cool control technology and games, it has the Nintendo label, and it has cheap low powered hardware. But however, I would rather the control, and games, be on an PS3, or Xbox360. So, yes, for me, the Wii did need to be an bit more powerful and take an bit wider functionality. I awaited, and found they went with the lower spec, I was disappointed, and I rejected.

Once, again,sorry for the confusion,
and welcome to Spong.

Way.
