Sorry but he's mostly wrong.
WiiU will be noticeably better in many areas to the PS360.
Sure you'll have slightly faster CPU/GPU... that's a given and in the GPU's case thats better for many more reasons that just more polygons... it adds completely new technologies.
A big change will be in the raw internal memory available for game development. PS360 are severely limited on RAM and they were not built like the N64 with the capability to upgrade RAM easily.
Additionally, the fact is their competitor... Nintendo who's even bigger than EA in game publishing.. will be putting out a new system. Which to the masses, i.e. not the core group on this forum, will be new and exciting and automatically expected to be better than PS360.
This will mean MSony will have old machines that will start to really look worse when games simply look better on WiiU due to the newer GPU technology and larger RAM.
What this will mean is an incremental update for the neXtbox and PS4. Bringing the next gen from the massive gap of Wii to PS360 to be more like PS2(WiiU) to Xbox/GC(neXtbox/PS4).
MSony would be stupid to let it go more than a year on the market alone. |
I'm pretty sure the Wii U will be roughly on par with a PS3 or Xbox 360. I mean didin't we already see the leaked specs?
The difference between Wii U and PS3 won't be noticable enough to warrant new consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo is playing catch up. Those with a Wii should definitely upgrade as it will be their first HD console. But I don't see anyone with a PS3 or 360 buying a Wii U unless they're doing it for the Mario/Zelda/Metroid games..etc

The leaked CPU/GPU are definitely not on par with the PS360. They are a good 5 to 10% more powerful... i.e. a generation ahead.
Nintendo is playing catch up ... sort of... but they will also be expecting within a year of WiiU's launch to have new MSony consoles. So they will plan for what they think these will contain.

You think 5-10% is a full gen ahead? Games like uncharted, gears, killzone, are by far more then 10% better looking then the average game this gen. So you think the wiiu going from CoD:MW2 to KZ3 is going to make anyone buy the wii if they own 360/PS3? Games like GT5 are pushing 50% more pixels and the best car details this gen compared to the rest of the racing games running at 720p. So by your 5-10 percent GT5 will still blow away the games on wiiu along with any AAA 360/PS3 game.
"Wii to PS360 to be more like PS2(WiiU) to Xbox/GC(neXtbox/PS4)" So 360 is going from 2005 tech to 2006 graphics? Wiiu if lucky will be pushing games barely better then top games this gen. The 720/PS4 will come out and destroy anything this gen. 360 aracde is sub $200, and makes a profit, you expect 720 to come out and cost $250 and make money...
