Not surprised... Nintendo has fucked us fans again.

Eurogamer are really starting this eh? Alright, but I already know how this ends...

I wish i knew what some of this means haha! i wont get into any next gen debates, i really dont care for those that much. I honestly enjoy the system and can't wait for more games.

Not only do we already know about this, we clearly know more about the situation than Eurogamer - the 320 stream processors is speculation at this time, the correct number is not yet known. Furthermore, there is a significant portion of the die that has yet to be identified.

More than that, 1080p is not "around 2.5x that of 720p". It's 2.25x. Not approximately, but exactly. And FLOPS do not represent actual power. Oh, and in the picture, they claim that the red sections represent the 320 stream processors... but they've only marked HALF of them.

So with this article, we can rule out Eurogamer as a suitable source of news when it comes to this sort of thing.

where is lilbroex when we need him...

So when they see a Ferrari they automatically say its faster than a VW? Even tho they have no idea if the Ferrari has a steering wheel or tires at all?

Makes sense to me :)

To bad something like newer shader technology etc is not important at all and doesnt count as "next gen". I mean its so unimportat that all ps3 and 360 games still look like PS2 games just with higher resolution and more polys. There is nothing at all that uses the shader advantage of the 360/Ps3! /sarcasm

I mean seriously lets say WiiU will be able to handle nextbox etc shaders but the console will run at a lower resolution and at the same time the polycount will be a bit lower (PS2 vs XBOX1) then of course its on par with the 360 LOL.

To bad noone made a game called resident evil revelations that shows that despite the 3ds being less powerful than a Wii it can have better graphics.


P.S. Its nice to see that GEN is such a officially recognized and accepted term that we can CLEARLY say what is next and what is last gen etc.

true, but I don't see Wii U getting the most 3rd party support - unlike 3DS...

Ka-boom!

Now where is Superchunk? I hope he's busy eating his words right now, after being so aggressive in forcing everyone to believe Wii U will be more than the Wii was last gen. This looks like the perfect repeat of the Wii, which was stronger than the stronges console of the previous gen by pretty much the same margin Wii U seems to be. I can't wait till Sony announces the PS4 to see just how big the gap is going to be, but I'm sure it's going to be pretty huge.


To tell the truth, I'm seriously disappointed. I'm not a Nintendo hater, I own 2 of their consoles and I was expecting Wii U to be much stronger than this. I was really certain that the gap between Wii U and current gen is much bigger. Now there is no chance in hell that I'm spending more than $120-150 on this console, no matter what games they release, sorry Nintendo.

very true, but looking at last gen - which console(s) got the most of 3rd party support?

I guess X was just CG then

damn you Nintendo how can you show us a huge world that looks better on a system that is weaker and renders on two screens!
