Wii's technical specifications are now for everyone to see, as a big US online retailer, EB Games put an "order listing for the console" online, which will be most likely open in November. Now you can go comparing the console against Xbox 360 and PS3, but the fact is that there is not much to compare. The technology is very different from the other two and you hardly can call Wii a next-gen console.
