I dont consider it to be a leap when they where and still are failry behind to begin with. What does this large leap even mean to game developers or consumers who are already exposed to the PS4 and X1? That point doesn't even matter, look at your original comment. It is one that tries to deny the jump from Wii to Wii U by saying that it's offset by the GC to Wii jump. There was no point in saying that, especially given that it was already mentioned in the video. Whether the guy in the video has a real point or not is irrelevant given how you made your response. I dont buy the small gap argument either, it will show and when it does it'll blow peoples minds. Heck it already is. People said the the same thing about the PS2 and PS3. Hell, I said that. And yet today the difference between a PS2 and a PS3 game is beyond night and day.The Wii was barely pushed above the Gamecube even with Nintendos own titles. But when you compare launch PS3 and 360 games to what they do now, and then look at the sheer raw power inside both the PS4 and X1 things wont look good at all. I don't even get what your point here is. This is about Wii to Wii U, not Gamecube to Wii. It's like you entirely missed the point. NFS Rivals on PS4 is already leagues above NFS MW on U. If you look at NFS Carbon (a launch PS3 game) and Rivals on the PS3 and apply that to scale the PS4 then its going to be nothing short of a visual massacre. That is 100% irrelevant given that the thread isn't comparing Wii U to PS4 graphics. You're just ranting to make it seem like you have a point. You don't. No one is arguing Wii U vs PS4 graphics. No one. If Nintendo hopes to release a gen 9 system on par with the PS5 and XBoxTwo for example it will basically have to make TWO jumps in one go.
That wont do them any favours, given how they are struggling with the U. They basically shot themselves in the foot, twice. That doesn't even make any sense. How does making two jumps equate to not doing them any favors? You're making a logical jump, and coming to a conclusion without even elaborating on your thought process. Making two jumps when you're a "jump" behind doesn't take twice as much effort FYI. I dont put the U down, I own one for petes sake. That said I dont defend it either, not in the slightest. Truth is the Wii U has tons of things about it worth criticising. Just like the launch PS3 I call a spade a spade, not a big spoon. This system has serious issues. No, I have seen the repeated amount of comments you make on threads. I don't know if you even actually own one. If you do, it doesn't mean you're exempt from being "anti-Wii U." I don't normally respond to your comments because I usually let you have your opinions. But this time, it was just trying to take a cheap-shot at the Wii U by trying to state that the jump between Wii and Wii U is somehow taken away by the jump between GC and Wii. Like I have said multiple times before, it is irrelevant to the topic here. There was no reason to say it unless you wanted to keep beating a dead horse. I dont approve of its hardware at all. Nintendo had the money and resources to make something truly decent. 2GHz quad core. 2GB GDDR5 unified memory shared with a 5670HD equivalent GPU. But nope. They set the bar low, far too low. I feel Nintendo has backed itself into a corner. I dont see gen 8 being salvaged and gen 9 will be a deciding moment in regards Nintendos future in the home console business. Just so you know, putting better hardware into the Wii U does NOT guarantee it to do better. The Gamecube did this, and failed. People are comparing the Wii U to the Gamecube, but people like you need to be reminded that Nintendo did what you're thinking Nintendo should do now with the Gamecube. The market isn't so predictable, and it is only in hindsight that you can claim it is so obvious. |
