Many have prased the system as a whole. A console is more than just the CPU. If the U is able to produce the same graphics as the Zelda and Japanesse Garden demo's from 2011 E3, it will more than hold its own.

As for the memory speed, what was saying is that a 4.3 is better than a 5.3 in a 40 yard dash. 4.3 means a person runs 40 yards in 4.3 seconds. 5.3 means it was done in 5.3 second which is slower than 4.3. The goal is to have a smaller time. That's what my understanding of the speed claim that was made. Feel free to correct my understanding if it is wrong.

The whole system is better than PS360... that's a fact but disappointment is deu that fact it it just better than PS360... not next gen or way better than PS360... it's like "Welcome Wii to this generation"... Wii U hardware delivery what the others consoles develered six years ago.

The memory speed of Wii U is almost half the speed of the memory in PS360... 22.4GB/s vs 12.8GB/s.


Ok! So those E3 demo's were a lie then? They were more than just better than what saw from the PS360.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: tech demos are intended to showcase hardware strength without the constraints of having to compute stuff like AI, gameplay input and the myriad of factors that need to be updated real time into the RAM like position of assets etc.

It's like dolus bonus; the so-called good deceit on commercial transactions. Meaning the use of cunning and sagacity to make a product look and feel better than it is.

Both the PS3 and the X360 also had their fair share of wow-ing tech demos; and that with 7-year old graphical technology... every new GPU series have those too.
