A closer look at Wii thru images |
Ó
Wii, the name of Nintendo's upcoming next gen-console. Measuring 44 mm wide, 157 mm tall and 215.4 mm deep in vertical orientation without the stand, Wii is Nintendo's smallest home game console yet. Coined before as "Revolution", Nintendo decided to change the name to "Wii", as "Wii sounds like 'we', which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii."
These images of Wii may give you an idea of what to expect. Wii has a slot-loading media drive and although it isn't shown here in the images, it is illuminated by a blue light. It accepts 12 cm optical discs for Wii software and 8 cm discs from the Nintendo GameCube. One the images below features four Nintendo GameCube controller ports and two Nintendo GameCube memory card ports.
The console is compatible with optional USB 2.0 Ethernet LAN adaptor. It also has one SD memory card slot, two USB 2.0 ports, and one Sensor Bar port. Wii can support up to four Wii Remote controllers via Bluetooth wireless connection, so that means more than one person can enjoy a good game. These are just peripheral capabilities of the Wii which we can see in the images.
Let's tackle briefly the facts of what's inside Wii. How about its processor? Its CPU boasts of PowerPC based processor codenamed "Broadway" made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, while its GPU utilizes ATI "Hollywood" made with a 90 nm CMOS process. In short, it is very powerful despite its size.
It has a massive memory, thanks to the 1T-SRAM, which combines the high speed of SRAM with the high bit-density and lower-power consumption of embedded DRAM. The audio supports Dolby Pro Logic II and the video provides up to 480p of breathtaking pictures with vivid colors and superb details.
Please be reminded that these are not the final details of the retail consoles. But we guess, looking at it, its no wonder that Wii is one of the most anticipated products to be released this year.

Yeahya
COULD I USE A SD CARD FOR LIKE A CAMERA. OR IS IT A SPECIAL SD CARD YOU HAVE TOO BUY.
nope! your standard sd card.
It looks great. Cant wait to get one!
what the heck is "thru" images. a n00b writing articles. I'm ashamed. anyway, some nice pics, its so small, i cant wait!
LOOK AT ALL THE WII REMOTES IN THE FIRST PIC!!!
But my Wii is also so, SO SEXY !!! WHOA !!! Im gonna play with my Wii all nights....
does the wii support optical (what is that orange thing on the back?) or even coax?
Man, these Wii pictures are cool, but why is there one with a PSP? Well who cares, they Wii looks cool.
Now that picture really makes the size of the Wii hit home. It's only a bit longer than a PSP. Months ago when the media started analysing the Wii as a small+sweet alternative to the big+macho machines like PS3 and Xbox 360, only a few of us really had a true idea of how small the small+sweet was! It's tiny!
The orange port is where the sensor bar plugs in.
I was wondering about the psp too >_< . It's so NICE I might just get one now that I started working, if they're not over $300 that is :P
it uses the analog connection from the gamecube to do it's gfx (same one as n64 too) but dosen't it need a digital connection to do 480p? oh well it still is tiny but i wonder what it would look like next to one of those mac minis?
what is with the pink sync button i recon black would work better
