Plus its not just about the graphics, its about being able to make animations smoother and other things as well. Is the Wii U gonna be capable of all of this? Dont know, but if I had to guess considering Nintendo's past, no it wont be. As for the power of the Wii U, who knows where it lies when it compares to the PS3 and 360, no official specs have been released. And the difference between the PS2 and GC/Xbox were minimal. And 3rd Parties will abandon the Wii U if there is a huge graphical difference, and if the controller becomes cumbersome to develop for. The Wii U would have to offer something extraordinary for the Hardcore to stop playing their 360s and PS3s to buy a new console. Nintendo's inability to make a good online system is already one strike against them, and just making a console powerful enough to get Multiplats from PS3 and 360 isnt going to do it, since those systems have exclusives that each owner wants. |
This is gold. For the record, there have been press statements that the WiiU will be able to handle 1080p, but your argument seems to be towards some kind of belief that people are falling over themselves to purchase the higher definition console. CONSUMERS, no less (which you stated on a previous post). The average consumer is not interested in GFLOPS or resolution, the Wii more than proved that. If the WiiU can deliver an experience that cannot be easily replicated on the other next-gen systems, then there's a good chance that we'll see a repeat of this gen, with Sony and Microsoft attempting to play "catch-up" in innovation.
