199w ago - The Wii isn't the most powerful piece of hardware out there. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are more powerful, but Nintendo's machine is still putting up a fight.
Now Telltale Games has come into the picture and trashed the Wii's horsepower because of some complaints that the Wii version of Monkey Island has some framerate problems.
To quote: A Telltale Games programmer going by the name of
Yare on the
forums had this to say:
"The voices and textures are the way they are because we're limited to 40 megs for WiiWare titles. The PC versions of our games are usually 150+ megs, and most modern games range anywhere from 1-10 gigabytes or more. Talk to Nintendo about this one.
Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even."

It may have superior software for multimedia and other general apps, but clearly the hardware for games is seriously less powerful. Any comparison of game graphics will demonstrate this.
I understand some people actually like the Wii, and I feel sorry for you I really do. But again, I know how older people work, and they do not upgrade every 5 years like people who are into tech do.
