Ti the creators of the ‘Hollywood GPU’ for the Nintendo Wii spoke to GameDaily and had the following to say:

“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.

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…(about 360 and Wii GPU)

They’re different chips for different platforms and different uses. I don’t think it’s a fair comparison to put them on a chart [to analyze]. That’s not what it’s all about… I think if you focus on the capabilities that the chip will have for the average consumer, with the amazement and wow factor, I think that’s the value that we bring.”

compleatly avouding the acual specs or visual abillitys of wii its clear nintendos marketing plan is based on fun controls interaction inovartion and low costs wiis gpu will be more upto date more powerfull and more efficant than flipper but operate at the same resolutions i think in terms of lighting shadows textures and all of that stuff wii will easy keep pace with 360/ps3 -true hd im allso expecting loadtimes and game stabillity to be better on wii than ps3 as was the case with gamecube vs ps2 expect efficant well balanced gamecentric zero bottle necks system AND THAT IS ALL THATS REQUIRED NUMBERS ARE MEANINGLESS DESIGN IS WERE ITS AT

BAH! dammit, why can’t NINTENDO release some useful information! Or at least some hints.
Does this mean that perhaps the Wii graphics still have a chance to be only slighlty below the Xbox360?

I agree.
Why can’t Nintendo just tell us some plain hard facts for once.
But still, looking good!
