The ps4 and Xbox one are more 720 p already! Lol! So just ask if Wii u was just as strong.

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a single 720p PS4 game in existence. The worst I've heard of is 900p, and that's very rare and usually upscaled to 1080 anyway.

There is one I know of, I think it's the only one so far though:

Seems like all that was made in comparison to PS360, but then PS4X1 came and that goone old history

Yeah, their mistake was gunning for PS3/360 rather than PS4/Xbone power wise.

Still, bonzo was comparing it to PS3/360, so the material seemed relevant, as it was an actual dev who has worked on the system contradicting his claims that main RAM bandwidth and eDRAM size were bottlenecks.

I believe you are right on all your claims. And possibly the WiiU is very balanced. But overall weak, maybe for current gen the biggest problem on WiiU is RAM size or bandwidth, but for the system itself it isn't.

 

For what Nintendo uses it is quite enough and output great games, but maybe if it had an similar architeture to ps4x1 it would get more ports even if powerwise it still were close to what it have now (but probably would lose retrocompatibility, which I don't mind because I have Wii).

 

Anyway since WiiU would be my second console I don't need it to be more powerfull, but would love it cheaper and that Nintendo games were cheaper as well.

The graphics and power of Wii U is perfectly fine as it is.

If graphics were a priority for me, I wouldn't play on my PS4 either... I'd play on my PC.



Yep.

For me, it's not about the graphics of the Wii U. I have absolutely no problem with the visuals on Wii U. As a matter of fact, I've actually been impressed several times with the visuals in games on Wii U the same way I've been with other systems. The problem with Wii U is architectural design. They can keep the gamepad and other things that make the Wii U unique but they should have used hardware that was closer to developing games on XB1 and PS4, that way they could have had better publisher support. It's frustrating that Wii U isn't getting so many of the 3rd party games at retail.

Many of the 3rd party retail games that have come out, outside of me buying them on PC for the visuals, I would have loved to play them using the gamepad. Unfortunately, I can't play them because they're not there. The reason is, porting games to Wii U is tedious and expensive. This wouldn't be the case if the internal hardware was more in line with XB1 and PS4 hardware.

yeah there are some differences.  but this game is far from 1080p60 fps on ps4. How many 1080p60fps games are there on ps4? They all look only slightly better then 720p30fps games on last gen. And wii u is slightly more powerfull. it would definitly work,but scince wii u is bad in slaes we will never see.

 

I doubt ps4 could hande xenoblade x in 1080p60fps without any problems.

Are you serious? 



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

A better console would suffice instead.



Cobretti2 on 02 June 2015

what i want is parity games in content not so much graphics.

Too many Wii U games have missing levels or features such as multiplayer compared to their counter parts.

If Wii U could do PS4 graphics at 720p, would that be enough for you?

Enough for what? But I think it will be good. Better graphics, effects, lighting, etc. Why not?

without third party support?
na, even if wii u was the most powerful hardware its destiny would be that different to that of the gamecube or the n64, well, at the very least nintendo is not using kiddy image on their consoles like gamecube so if it was the strongest console maybe would do better, perhaps second place

And yea, although graphics arent everything on a game is what has been selling consoles better in this generation, market just wants us to be suprised and hyoed by graphics when at the end all turned into empty promises like witcher 3, watch dogs, Infamous Second Son, etc

 

Just hope splatoon really turns out like what mario kart is for racing games to remind us that is not just graphics but also the how you stylish them and the fun gameplay
