Except you're not buying a GPU for your PC. You're buying a whole machine, a controller, access to Connect24, Virtual Console, and the ability to play Wii games. Good luck finding a better gaming package for $200.

TeamXbox still has the interview in it's entirety.

My question is how do we relate what was shown at E3 on Wii SDKs with the proposed GPU specs? Doesn't look to me like devs are targetting x1400 level. Have Nintendo basically had no idea what level graphics performance they would provide and just said to their devs 'stick with GC+ for now and we'll let you know what the hardware will really be capable of 6 months before it's released'?

yeah, although just in case Nintendo puts pressure on teamxbox.com or any other website/forum, to take down the info (assuming its real, which i don't), you can always find the original published interview on usenet http://tinyurl.com/jq85k

because so far, everything has, from what've read, been developed using the old Flipper or overclocked Flipper. not the new GPU.
i'm now leaning towards this interview being FAKE, until some further confirmation of some kind comes out.
if it is fake, it's the best damn fake so far, because it's extremely conservative in spec, it does not put Wii within reach of Xbox360 or PS3 level. since a GPU between X1400 and X1600 is not nearly as powerful as Xenos.

Again XB360 playable demos from E305...
BTW I saw here that isnt the first time that XavierPoix break NDAs, is it real?
Actually if Xenus is really in the level of X1800-X1900 given the benches of them (eg B3D) it should be able to play more or less the same given 1/3 the rez.

maybe yeah. but then, if developers got to make Xbox 360 games at 480p, then Xenos still outclasses the claimed GPU in Wii according to the claimed Ubisoft interview.

That was me that said that. I didn't mean outright break NDA's, but from what I've heard he likes to skirt them.pc999 said:

well he did a bit more than skirt one this time apparently, ubisoft emailed me demanding it be removed, and im not about to do that, so i changed the parts that wouldve broken an NDA. It doesnt matter and i still have the interview, the word is out there, over 200 thousand hits since fearsome posted it here, with ~6 - 7k being direct clicks on that post =)

Can't deny if I was in his position I'd do the same.chosen_colette said:
Then I'd get a nice chewing from my superiors and have Iwata scream at me in Japanese.
Damn I want to be in the thick of it, making games and being screamed at by Japanese men.

LOL. yea they wont admit that it happened, they have already denied it in emails to people, but nobody from the paris branch has done so nor has there been a public denial (expect one of those soon though if this picks up any more steam) I didnt forsee it becoming this big of a deal, and apparently ubisoft doesnt like the position they are now in.
