We all know that the Wii is the least powerful of the 'next gen' games systems. But Microsoft's Robbie Bach tears it a new one, by calling it a glorified 'GameCube'.
Says Bach:
"…the video graphics on it aren’t very strong; the box itself is kind of underpowered; it doesn’t play DVDs; there are a lot of down-line components [that] aren’t actually that interesting. … They don’t have the graphics horsepower that even Xbox 1 had. So it makes sort of the comparison set a little bit difficult.”
Wow!!!! That's kinda harsh.
But he may have a point!
Newsweek’s Level Up went to technical experts to discover if what Bach was saying is true. In a nutshell, the Wii essentially is a GameCube with a new controller and improved memory clock speed.
