ATI claims Nintendo Wii more capable than what early game shows

Nintendo showcased their upcoming gaming console at the recently held E3 Expo with much fanfare. However, the console wowed the gamers more for its innovative game play than its graphics.

ATI has now said in a statement that the hardware supplied in the Nintendo Wii gaming console is capable of more than what the early games show and this should please the gamers who have Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 to choose from besides the Wii console.

ATI is the developer of the Hollywood gaming processors, which powers Nintendo Wii and the company emphasized that the Wii architecture is capable of producing far better results than what we’ve witnessed thus far.

John Swinimer, Senior Public Relations Manager of Consumer Products at ATI said: “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.”

He added: “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.”
