Wii U's eDRAM stronger than given credit?

[jake_the_fake1]

Are people STILL seriously going on about the WiiU's power?

It's ridiculous, the WiiU can pump out some nice looking graphics for the the hardware it has, just like the Wii and the Gamecube before it, but it pales in comparison to what both the xbox one and PS4 can do, and this is a simple fact.

So what if it's EDram has this supposed 500GB/s bandwidth? Hell it can have 1TB or even 2TB bandwidth and you know what? it won't change the simple fact that the GPU is weak as shit. So while it won't be bottlenecked by bandwidth, the bottleneck would be the GPU and CPU.

So going with Nintendo's usual efficient and cost effective designs, What's more reasonable, that Nintendo put in an unbalanced ultra high bandwidth EDram that the system could never actually use, or that they put in EDram that is suitable and balanced for the systems over spec?

I would say that Nintendo system engineers were sensible enough to put in EDram with the rumored ~60-80GB/s, as this would be cost effective but also more than enough for a system with a low specced GPU and CPU.

This does NOT mean the WiiU isn't capable of great graphics, it just means that developers have to push artstyle in their graphics rather than realism. This is something Nintendo games are all about, great artstyles which is why Mario word 3D, Super smash brothers, and mario kart look great.

I just think it's time these Nintendo hardware worriers STOP, open their eyes and realize the WiiU is not in any fashion a powerful machine, accept this fact, and then go forth and enjoy the still gorgeous games that his box can actually produce, rather than go on these ridiculous tangents of insanity...just saying.
