'iPhone is much more powerful than Wii', says TellTale programmer

'iPhone is much more powerful than Wii', says TellTale programmer






We all know the Wii isn’t the most powerful piece of hardware out there. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are more powerful, but Nintendo’s machine is still putting up a fight. Now Telltale Games has come into the picture and trashed the Wii’s horsepower because of some complaints that the Wii version of Monkey Island has some framerate problems.

A Telltale Games programmer going by the name of Yare on the forums had this to say: “Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even.”

Even after making such a wild statement, Yare still stands by it. He later posted: “And I stand by them. The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn't remove the hardware limitations.”

We knew they weren’t powerful, but I think saying it’s not as powerful as an iPhone is a bit extreme.
