They already used it on sam and max which had the same problems on both the 360 and the wii. Its got bugger all to do with the wiis limitations. LOL
Lets see now.

Anyway, the amount of ram is not an indication of how powerful the console is. I have an old laptop that has more ram than my desktop, but there is no way on earth that the laptop is more powerful!
The Wii has a far more powerful cpu and gpu and although it has a little less memory it is very fast memory especially the onchip texture ram.
However if they ever get the iphone to do a game as good looking on a large screen as mario galaxy or re4 then wake me up...
The biggest problem with the iphone is its control method capacitative touch screens are rubbish for controlling most games. That comparison kills his statement full stop. :lol:
Exactly what I thought. he may be onto something guys...

The Wii is definitely a lot less Apple-y than an iPhone. When buying a GAMES machine this particular property is much more important than raw power. They are actually both fine devices, one is a fantastic dedicated games machine, and the other is an extremely capable multitasking phone. As a games machnine though there is no contest... and it is not about raw processing power or RAM size.
After all, the iPhone would WANT to be more powerful, it's about three times the price. Maybe he means more power per polygon? The PSP is more powerful than a PS2 in those terms, and it is (obviously) a much smaller screen that they have to power.
Either way, no the iPhone will never be a true games system. ooooh, listen to him go on about 'algorithms' being affected by the RAM. I'm 15, have just completed a GCSE in ICT (4 weeks till the result!) and know perfectly that RAM is a poor thing to use to try and better something. RAM is volatile (temporal) memory, and deals with the actions that the hard drive does. However, as leefear1 pointed out, the Wii's superior CPU and GPU mean it runs games alot better than an iPhone.
Wii v.s iPhone when it comes to games? Wii wins it for me every time.... And? The Wii has already proved its a player against the PS3 and 360.
Try playing WiiSports on your IPhone. ;P depends what you class as 'power'. If you're talking chipsets then the iphone isn't as powerful as the wii. If you're talking 'power' to get me to spend money on games then the iphone wins hands down for me. Bet when this guys talks of power, he clearly means the power of the machine.
It's such a daft statement to make when you are supposed to be a programmer. The programmer is obviously a iphone fanboy. :) |
