| Egann said: The Wii U is weaker than the other consoles because it's less expensive. The competition is not only a year newer and doesn't split resources across a gamepad, but they also cost $100 more, and are from established tech companies. Nintendo would have to have sacrificed their children to a cult of C'thulu for the Wii U to be more powerful. That said, I'm still not convinced any amount of difference will amount to a hill of beans, anyway. Graphics weren't the reason last generation ended: memory limits were. Developers just couldn't make big and pretty maps with only 512 MB of RAM. The Wii U has 1.5 GB of RAM, which is not 8 GB, but it's enough. The graphics on the other consoles may be a notch better, but the graphics of this generation as a whole will only be a notch or two better than last gen, anyway. |
It will be a lot better on PS4/Xbone but we will also see a good increase on WiiU, too, but sadly only for exclusives. X looks wonderful, to say the least.
But somehow I think only a few games will max out WiiU, just like what happened to Wii, sadly. Given Wii had twice the power of Gamecube which had visually stunning graphics it was a shame what devs achieved on Wii...
