Can someone convince me into buying a wii instead of using the same money to make my PC even more powerful? I ask this because, the graphics seem to be worse than the PS2's when it is almost as powerful as the original xbox!!!
P.S.
I know the wii is not about graphics if compared to the Xbox 360 and the PS3...but, it should atleast SURPASS (not match) last gen consoles' power!!
If I insult you...don't get offended...my insults are "friendly insults"...I know this sounds stupid (ridiculous) but I am fet up of writing, "no offense" in my posts...
My Comp: (will add specs later)

Your too late to pre-order the ps3...
@dazila Yeah black is hard that was one of the only games I needed help on. The only problem is that the levels are to long because you cant save in between them so it takes forever until you beat the stage. Plus there are not that many stages so it is a fairly short game.

The isnt nearly as powerfull as the Xbox but its about 1.5x better there will be a big difference to what I think.take it this way the best looking game on xbox then nearly double the graphics and thats what you get!
For Eg.
Xbox:
733mhz Intel Pentium 3
Wii:
950mhz iBM cl 750 aka: iBM Broadway
It may only look as if it were 200 mhz but there is alot more potential in that wii cpu then the original Xbox cpu at gaming why??
A)The Intel Pentium 3 isnt designed for games but for a huge ammount of other apps but the Wii cpu is purely designed for running games and about 3 more things which means that at games the Wii cpu will snap the pentium 3 at a run at games but on word processing etc the iBM will lose since its core function is to run games but we are talking about a gaming console so there is no need for the word processing or Limewire etc,etc.
P.S
The CPU with the most GHZ/MHZ is 4.0ghz/4000mhz while the cpu that has the best speed and therefore is the fastest is only 2.93ghz/2930mhz

What? When did they say that?
(I doubt it will rival SNES vs Genesis, but whatever. I still am willing to bet the ps3 eventually walks away with the majority share, but that's just my guess.)

One word: No.
Nintendo has said nothing about this, but they don't really need to. Nintendo is somewhat depending on this whole online shopping bit to keep their system strong(to a degree); Seeing as they usually have very limited support in their first year on each new system. It goes without saying that Nintendo will put some good protective measures, including, but not limited to non-standard file use. I am betting we're looking at software High Level Emulation, similar to what the 360 does, but with pre-decompressed files.
It would not make any sense for them to support the standard rom formats that are so widely available through illegal downloads, that would just be asking for trouble. (Can you say piracy problems?)
Besides, it can safely be deduced that many of these games will not be in their true, *original* format, as some of the later titles may not function all that well in those formats. Especially the Ninteno 64 titles, many of which would be impossible to run on a low end processor, without some MAJOR tweaking. But that eludes back to my point of Nintendo needing to alter the files in order to optimize them for much easier use on the platform. Odds are, that all textures, sounds, effects, and(in some rare cases) video will be in more raw, native formats to the Wii, so as to make it easier for the system to run them at a good, stable speed.
My only question, is will I be able to play the downloaded games online? Because, hey, if I could play Goldeneye online(with or without Wiimote) I'd be set, if I could do that. But like I said, that much can only be speculated right now; they've got a lot of work to do to make this whole thing work out right. Nintendo may *seem* like they've chosen an easy path with this emulation route, but if it's to really take firmly, they're going to have to put in a lot of effort. But the AiLife program should probably help them a lot, if they want to program in actual Wiimote use for some emulated games, and I think it could help vastly for some games, especially N64 shooters. But that may just be me.
As for games on memory cards, I can't say it won't happen, but it also seems unlikely, as this would make for more difficulty in preventing piracy problems; because you could copy files (Aka games, etc) through computers and the internet, just like people do with their rom files.

i cancelled my wii preorder today.
did have it preordered at toys r us (australia). had it ordered bout 8 weeks ago. at the time they had "preorder your wii and get a free game at launch" deal.
They told me it would be a choice out of a few different games. now i find out it is a set game, not a choice, and the game is open season.
now i know the game is free so i wasnt too disappointed really as i would be paying the same when it is relesed even if there wasnt deal.
But...myer has preorder deal where on release you get $600au vouchers. a lot of these i wont be using as i saw on internet what they will most likely be, lik $250au of samsung lcd tv and $150au off surround sound system, etc. but it also said they will be 2x $15au off wii remote, 8x $15au off games, and 2x buy 2 games get 20% off.
like i said, i wont use all of these but same of the game vouchers or the remote vouchers are pretty good.
plus if you;re a myer one member (free to join), you also get free game, GT Pro Series 2.
now GT Pro Series may not be that good, or it may be pretty cool, i dont know yet cause i havent played it. but since the wii is for me (26 years old) and not my 6 year old son (i dont have kids), i think a racing game would be much better then a game based on a kids movie.
and i get the bonus of possibly having a few vouchers that will give me discounts on the stuff i really want.
so i cancelled at toys r us and ordered at myer.
on dec 7 (30 days) i plan on getting:
wii console $399au
remote + wii play $79.95au
nunchuk $29.95au
zelda $99.95au
and i will get GT Pro Series with plastic steel wheel attachment free.
and hopefully some great discount vouchers to use with it.
so thats total approximately = $610au
if there is some cool vouchers that lower this price and give discount on another game, i may get super monkey ball or rayman raving rabbids or something so that my girlfriend can enjoy the wii too and the wii isnt all i have to play with for a month...
or i may get madden, that would be cool.

*Nintendo Wii is criticised in a review on Cnet by Sonymaster101 he stated how the wii is not good clocks at 400mhz is barley as good as a ps2 and controlers have only a 1 at a time sensor how crap it is that the Wii can only connect through WI-FI only to the DS and then went on to say "The playstation 3 also shows promise of useful connectivity with its portable conterpart, the psp"," But, they designed a new console that is barely as powerful as the ps2, is $100 more expensive, cannot play Blu-ray, HD-DVD, or regular dvd's, And does not have a hard disk, but ''boasts'' 512 MB of internal flash memory. 512 MB is about enough to store 10 minutes of hd video, not to mention the wii can't play any HD whatsoever. And, the functionality of their new remote is somewhat limited, As you can only maintain 1 point of contact at a time" all of these things have been cleared up months earlier and then something like this happends how pathetic i will revise to make people that think this is true no belive it.
iBM Hollywood @950mhz
Ati Broadway @? aprx 2x gamecubes gpu power
Why say stuff about the DS connectivity and then go say how good it is that PS3 did it.So people if you come across this on the Net 99% of it isnt true!

To answer your question, dazilla, one word:
Fanboys.
This is why people post stupid stupid things. They love to trash talk. I may prefer some games/systems over others, but I keep it to the facts, personally. Otherwise you hear things like "Wii has a 400Mhz processor!" and it makes my brain sad.

*Elebits No Longer A Wii Launch Title Delay for about 4 weeks after launch this game will launch.
*Nintendo 50% sure that if the console stays anticipated like right now after launch we will see not one but a couple of shortages in the next 3 months worldwide.
*Disney is openeing a new game studio just for the Wii and Ds to produce a large amount of games for the inovative console disney have stated "The Inovation and what we can do with the console atracetd us to the final decission".
*Cubed^3 special how Wii is a polished version of some of unsuccesfull gamecube things like the motion sensing controler in 2002 which has long been forgoten or how the Gamecube was going to use Sd cards to save but in 2000 for a 256mb sd card it was $80us so they cabceled it causing the gamcubes online capabilities very limited because the Gamcube memory cards did not have the capability to save for eg.Fifa 2004 and a whole online setup at the same time. Read more on http://www.cubed3.com/news/6286/1/Nintendo
Its very interesting seriously read it when you have time.
* Atari's Bushnell had few kind words for Sony, however, stating that the company has displayed ?arrogance and capriciousness" because of its large amount of console owners, and attributes much of their success to timing. " They had the right pricing at the right time [and were] almost the accidental winner," said Bushnell.
He concluded on the subject of the console war by predicting that Sony will have a hard time moving 1 million units within the next year.
And Gave his bet on the Wii being the Best 7th Gen Console
*8 more Wii virtual console tittles revealed
Punch-Out
Pro Wrestling
Kirby?s Adventure
Kid Icarus
Hogan?s Alley
Wild Gunman
Duck Hunt
PilotWings
*Zelda Twiglight princess Final Preview now avalible I dont know If I should say preview or review well review then but without a score is NOW! avalible on www.gamespot.com under the Wii section.
*Nintendo Has Put 17 more Wii videos onto their Wii site which are viewable right NOW!
*Posted on a site Sony (NYSE: SNE) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) have little to worry about here. Even though the DS is the world's most popular handheld platform, Nintendo has been running a distant third stateside when it comes to full-sized video game consoles. It would be surprising to see a hit on the Wii not eventually ported over to the other systems. WOW!
Hopefully Ive made up for not posting 2 days and thats everything I could find on the wii everything is the latest news
