It has everything to do with the developers' familiarity with the hardware, their big budget, and long time in development.

Also appears at the Wii has some physics capabilities after all. Makes me wonder a bit if the rumoured physics processing unit is true. Or if this is just really clever (the gravity appears to be acting slowly in the videos).

The console market is a world market not a US only one.Originally posted by Verto
FIFA 2007 - Blah. Nothing special.
PES 6 - See above.
Pro Evo 6 is the fastest selling game in the UK since San Andreas. It sold over 3 million copies in Europe on opening weekend and is still doing well in games charts.
And that's in addition to the over 7 million copies of the Japanese version of the game, Winning Eleven 10.
FIFA and Pro Evo are games that get people to upgrade consoles in Europe, like Madden etc is in the US.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

It would make sense, given how heavily the Wii would depend on realistic physics. I don't know either way, of course, but I'd hope so.Originally posted by Asher

Adding on to the physics bit, I was checking out the wiki article on WiiPlay, and there was a part where Nintendo claimed one of the games rivaled Havok in terms of realism. (I admittedly do not know much about the Havok engine, other than some of the games it is used in.)Comment

Havok is a scalable cross-platform physics engine.

And this comment from an interview with Ubisoft(from a while back), what is your take on it?
EN: Could you possibly tell us anything specific about the Wii GPU?
XP: I can tell you that it has double the number of pixel pipelines (of gamecube), and that it processes physics. It really takes a huge load off of the cpu.
Is it significant at all?Comment

It would be if it was from a reliable source."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah, checking it out raises a lot of suspicion. But, just out of curiosity, how and to what extent would this change things re: physics? Does the 360s CPU handle physics?Comment

The 360 and Cell are both physics monsters, way more capable than (desktop) CPUs. Also way faster than the physics accelerator "PhysX" for the PC.
The implications are it'd be much more capable of physics than it currently is, if only 'cause it offloads the CPU from those tasks.
It wouldn't be better than PS3/Xbox 360, but better than just the CPU.Last edited by Asher; December 4, 2006, 16:32."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
