Jesus tap-dancing Christ, I can't believe people are still talking about this as if it actually matters.

What matters:

1. The tablet controller and what new gameplay experiences it might offer.
2. The robustness and convenience of Nintendo's online market and network.
3. The software support that Nintendo and 3rd parties will bring to the platform.

What doesn't matter:

1. However many jigga-whats the Wii U produces.

what the hell is a jigga-what?

YOU TELL 'EM JEREMIAH!!!! He's so awesome



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

The WiiU isn't as powerfull as ps3, it's definitely more than the wii. the graphics aren't the greatest either, but still it's going to be a good system.

Pikmin 3 doesn't look any better than the original Halo.

Was that before or after the Anniversary edition? lol

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

A next-gen system more powerful than previous-gen systems, stop the presses!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Here is the Wii U's problem: It's more powerful, yes. But... a certain percentage of that power is set to the side for the whole streaming to the controller thing. The system is simply not powerful enough to provide a significant graphical upgrade while simultaneously doing the aforementioned.



Of Course the Wii U is a lot more powerful than PS3 and Xbox360. People who claim the Wii U has less power don't know much (nothing) about tech.

But the developers must use this power, with code that comes straight from the Xbox360 the Wii U can not show its power. The developer must utilize the DSP, the tesselation unit, the new features of the GPU and CPU. If programmers use this feature the Wii U could be 10x the power of Xbox360 in some categories, and could make things that you can't even think of with PS3/Xbox360.

Even if the Wii U streams a complex scenario for the gamepad and must effectively render the scene twice the graphics could be better than PS360 graphics, but not that much. If a game don't use the second screen or use it only for maps and such things, than the graphics could show a significant leap over PS360.
