Well I would be happy if the WiiU is what DreamCast was in that gen. I hope Nintendo set the bar high enough that titles can be ported from PS4 and Nex-Box. If they set the bar too low then they are in real trouble in the long run. But from the sounds of it WiiU is a true next generation platform. Can't wait to buy mine!


I'm pretty sure PS4 and X720 won't be so ahead of the Wii U that software won't be portable. Sony and MS would be crazy to do a vastly more powerful system.

The Wii had a very weird GPU, the Wii U will probably have a standard modern GPU. That plus a decent amount of memory should make ports very easy. Look at PC games which easily scale from old GPUs to the newest power-hungry beasts.

It's not rocket science to make a scalable game and most developers already know how to do it due to the PC.
