Forums - Nintendo Discussion - How much more powerful do you think the Wii U is compared to PS3/Xbox360.

With the recent official news regarding Wii U, and in addition to all the rumors of processor type, speed, GPU, embedded RAM etc.  How powerful do you think the Wii U is in contrast to X360/PS4?  I know early release games are only marginally better in terms of visuals (I am still holding on buying DS2 for Wii U, instead of the 360 version), but early builds are not a good indication of system potential.  One thing is for certain, the Wii U has 4x more total RAM compared to the PS3 and 360; with a more modern GPU and CPU (with Watson type architecture).  I have been asked several times by casuals who want to know about the system and the best comparison I could say is comparing the PSP vs the Vita in terms of capability.  What would you say to a casual who might ask the same question?

Who cares! Its all about the games...





For the record, my post wasn't a joke unlike all the others.

I think it will have some things over current gen consoles and some things that are limited compared to existing consoles, so I rounded that off as on-par.
