I'm sorry, but I think you fail for putting the highest option as 100% more powerful than PS3. Especially that you say ''heavy price tag'' next to it.
It wouldn't be very expensive to produce a machine several times more powerful than the PS3 and 360 combined. If Wii U is as 'powerful' as you suggest in the OP then I would even say that it wouldn't be very expensive to produce a machine several times more powerful than the PS3, 360 and Wii U combined.
I however think that the Wii U will be quite a bit more powerful than you are suggesting there. Maybe 3-5x as powerful as PS3.
'Powerful' not being a very definable word of course. |
Umm considering many still consider the PS3 to be capable of competing with current PC technology. Then I can't see WiiU or any console being more then 100% more powerful then PS3 especially if they are to be released by 2013 as many are suggesting. Though I admit I should have gone higher in the poll.
Current gaming PC's aren't even 100% more powerful then PS3 to my knowledge. Look at the best and most power driven game for PC released to date BattleField3, that is not 100% more powerful then PS3 infact I doubt its even 50% more powerful then PS3. I doubt you could release a 100% more powerful system even in 2014.
Now I'm not a PC expert, but I know that developers are saying WiiU is 50% more powerful then PS3. EA said that WiiU could handle BattleField3 which is state of the art releasing this winter. I can't see how a console could be 50% more powerful then that by 2013? And 100% released anytime soon would be radiculously more expensive then WiiU!

PS3 was already outdated, espcially when Crysis released you could tell the difference. Most PC devs just don't use advantage of the PC's nowadays because they also want their game on the consoles (that's why you see a lot on Pc forums 'Consoles are hurting PC games'). When the nextbox arrive we will see a big leap in graphics for PC games aswell. Anyway what do you consider more powerfull...

PC is obviously more powerful then PS3. But I have a very hard time believing that Sony or Microsoft will release hardware over 100% more powerful then PS3. I don't think PC's have reached that yet and don't expect them to for a few years. EA has said they pushed the PC version of BattleField to the best they could. So if BattleField3 is not 100% more powerful then PS3 then I doubt PC's can be that powerful.
However as I said it is possible and I should have put higher numbers in the polls. I just didn't see them as logical. However PS3 was more powerful then any PC at the time of its release. So I guess its possible if Sony and MS chose to loose money and release 600$ consoles again maybe just maybe the PS4/Nex-Box could be a few times more powerful. But I doubt that will happen, however I should have made the option in the poll. Also THQ said if manufacturers truly went next generation the way they did last gen, then games would cost over 100$ at retail and be extremely expensive to develop. Thus making it unlikely that MS or Sony will go that powerful, dev costs need to still be reasonable as well.
I wish their was a way to edit polls.
