the system is significantly more powerful than the wii, like an order of magnitude PLUS moreso. the cpu is a souped-up out-of-order version of the xenon with a massive cache, and the gpu is a radeon 4770/4830* to the xenos' pre-radeon 2XXX era gpu. given that it is more powerful than the 360 by a factor of 3-5x (although linear increments in performance mean nothing for results beyond better frame rates at higher resolutions, and cleaner effects), it doubly spanks the fuck out of the gimpo ps3 and its kludgy cell x geforce 7600
*according to word of mouth. to me, the tiny form factor with its limited cooling and power draw screams radeon mobility chipset, like a 4770M/4830M.
