Xbox 1 Equals Nintendo Wii?Page 110 May 2007left Xbox; right WiiBy: Filip Truta Games EditorXbox 1 Equals Nintendo Wii?The horsepower issue is being brought back in to the pictureDuring a recent interview with eWeek the president of Microsoft's Entertainment & DevicesDivision Robbie Bach said that Nintendo and their Wii "...don't have the graphicshorsepower that even Xbox 1 had" making comparison quite difficult. However Nintendoearlier claimed that their console was actually more powerful than the first Xbox. N'GaiCroal tries to find out who is right and who is wrong.Speaking with two developers on the full extent of the Wii's graphical prowess the followingdetails emerged: "Almost all the shader effects on PC Xbox 360 and PS3 can be reproduced on the Wii byreimplementing them with the fixed function hardware of the Wii's GPU. Most games justport the effect over. A few teams have gone as far as making a shadertoWii conversiontool. It reads the shader code and generates the fixed function code necessary to achievethe same result. Keep in mind that the Wii's GPU is not as fast or feature rich as the Xbox360 or PS3 but that doesn't mean you can't get very close results."So basically what the developers are saying is that Nintendo has achieved almost thesame results as Sony and Microsoft with their PS3 and respectively Xbox 360 using half orless than half of the resources its rivals did. It's true that the Wii doesn't live up to its rivals'capabilities but Nintendo's intentions weren't to make exceptional looking games but fungames primarily.So had the whole "horsepower" issue been true that still doesn't present Nintendo with aproblem. No one's complaining about it anyway.Page 1Copyright (c) 20012007 Softpedia. All rights reserved. Softpedia and Softpedia logo are registered trademarks of SoftNews NET SRL.
