wii remote controller will ultimately hold the capability to have the ability to output high-definition video-1080P content-but it is not expected undertake a physical strategy to read HD content like Blu-ray discs.
The 1080P compatibility will be partially because of custom-built tri-core IBM PowerPC chipset that’ll function the Wii 2′s brains. It will be a similar types of setup that you find on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 elite. Only, Nintendo will allegedly within the clock speeds to overcome out your three 64-bit, 3.2-Ghz cores of Microsoft’s competing device, among other enhancements.

Will that be enough for Nintendo to cement its new console to be a comparable offering-hardware-wise-for what rivals both have and still have yet to offer?
