How many bits does the new Nintendo Wii have?

Question

I remeber when game developers used to double their bit capacity for every new consoles. For example, I know that the original Nintendo had 8 bits, the super Nintendo had 16 bits, the N64 had 64 bits (duh, and the Nintendo Gamecube had 128 bits. So how many bits does the Nintendo Wii have? Does it still have 128 bits

Answer 1

With this generation of video game consoles bits are not a good unit to measure them. They actually stopped that with the last generation.

What they use now are specs, just like a comptuer cuz that's what they are.

Example: polygons per second, processor speed, RAM size, graphic card, etc...

Answer 2

8 bits??!!?? Laughable. The original NES, mine was bought in '81, cutting edge technology, was 8 bits... I would say take 8 bits, and square it, then square the result...and ur about 5% of the way there...
