The question arose in our video game discussion: if the Wii uses a 64bit CPU then how can it run Gamecube games given that the Nintendo Gamecube is 128bit (or so we thought).
A quick check of Wikipedia reveals:
Wii uses custom 64 bit Broadway processor
Gamecube used 64 bit Gekko processor
So both are 64 bits.

Interesting. The Nintendo 64 was also 64 bit (as suggested by the name). They've gotten a lot of mileage out of 64 bit CPUs.
