> Xbox lost out to Wii. Well, now this is a really interesting conclusion.
We (wii?) have both, and there is no comparison. Except for the wiimotes, which really are pretty cool, Xbox is superior in *every* respect. As in blows it away. Side-by-side with the Xbox's HD graphics, the Wii looks like a Commodore 64. The gameplay is smoother and more responsive, and there's no comparison in the sound. This is not me, certified MS lapdog, speaking; it's my kids, who could care less about who made the boxes. The Wii sits untouched. I don't even know if it still works; nobody cares. You certainly can't be talking about features/specs, because, if you were, I'd have to assume that you have no idea WTF you're talking about. Full details at http://tinyurl.com/23okra, but here are a few goodies (and believe me, this is just the tip of the iceberg): Xbox Wii ---- --- CPU 3.2 GHz PowerPC w/3 729MHz IBM Broadway dual-threaded cores Clock 500Mhz 243Mhz System RAM 512MB 64MB Video RAM 512MB 24MB Best video res 1080p 480p Video bandwidth 21.6 GB/sec 3.9 GB/sec HDMI Yep Nope (obviously) Storage Up to 120GB HD 512MB flash Digital audio Dolby 5.1 Nope Plays DVDs Yep Nope Well, you get the idea. So, the only way you could *possibly* say that Xbox "lost out" to Wii is in terms of sales. Wii does sell more. Of course, it is cheaper. So, let's summarize. Two companies produce machines with the same basic function. One box has superior specs, better reviews, and higher customer satisfaction ratings. The other one is cheaper and sells more. Which machine does Tom think is the winner? Hey, it's the one that sells more! Hmmm. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
