All these people analysising specs drives me potty.
All you need to do is look at what the machine will hopefully be capable of.
Not only will the machine be capable of 1080p resolutions on most games which neither the PS3 or Xbox 360 are capable of doing but at the same time as doing this it will have to stream 480p graphics to at least 1 Pad if not 2. So if you think that 1080p is 5 times the resolution of 480p. The wii U will infact be capable of running 7 times standard definition.
The chipset for the graphics card has been rumoured for sometime and this chipset has its own (on PCs anyway) 1GB RAM. 768MB shared will not be the case IMO.
The Processor if Quad core is at least 25 percent more power than the Xbox due the additional core and from memory the Xbox only uses 1 core for gameplay and the other 2 for other functions.
And finally when will people learn thats its not all about the Graphics. This machine will especially if it has 2 pads provide some amazing new gameplay experiences and I am really looking forward to its release  . |
Where did you get that it will run most games at 1080p?
Reggie said its capable of 1080p. So are PS3 and Xbox 360. You're just assuming these games are going to run at native 1080p? This is Nintendo. They sell their consoles at a profit.

A HD4850 can run (native render) most games of the current generation at 1920x1080, typically over 30fps depending on the level of added effects and AA.
Until I hear anything compelling that convinces me otherwise, I'll accept the concensus among most major reports that the AMD R700 design will be used for the final production GPU.
As for costs, the R700 is mature technology (2008), meaning the per unit cost on chips from AMD will probably be about or under $50, which for a $300-400 retail price console design, is pretty consistent with former consoles.
But yes, stating 1080p capable could mean anything from "plays 1080p video" to natively renders games visuals at 1920x1080. Quite a difference.

Was that they sell their consoles at profit a joke or were you being serious?
As for plays 1080p video and rendering game visuals at 1920X1080 what is the difference?What does one do that the other does not?

Video is already rendered and done by computers but in-game is rendered while you play it. Video does not need the processing power to just display it on screen while games need the console to be able to render it while you play it.
And as for VGKing. He was sent by the Sony gods to make the 3DS look like a PSP and the WiiU is going to be less powerful than the PS3. He is on a mission!
