Wii E3 graphics 'topje van de ijsberg'

Een woordvoerder van ATI, de fabrikant verantwoordelijk voor de grafische kaart in de Wii, heeft gezegd dat de graphics van de Wii die we tot dusver hebben gezien nog maar het topje van de ijsberg zijn. De Wii moet tot veel meer in staat zijn: I think what you saw [on Wii] was just the tip of the iceberg of what the Hollywood chip can bring to the Nintendo Wii, aldus John Swinimer, Senior Public Relations Manager of Consumer Products.

De goede man wilde echter niet ingaan op de specifieke specs en zei erbij dat ze er ook niet echt toe doen voor de meeste casual gamers: I'm really not here to talk about the design specs... other than the fact that ATI worked closely with Nintendo. The team that worked on this chip also worked on the Flipper chip that was in GameCube, and they've been working with Nintendo for a very long time so there's a great chemistry with the two teams working together.

I really don't think that it's about the [specs]; I think it's about the innovation that it brings to the table—the motion-sensing, the always-on capability, which is really cool too—the fact that the chip is powerful enough and responsive enough to be there at a moment's notice, and I think that's pretty cool for the average gamer
