Im not sure... 250-299 is quite low for a console 3-4x the power of the 360 and ps3...


What the hell? I believe the develpers who may have gotten the dev kit said it was about the same as a ps3, where are you getting this 3-4x?


There have been conflicting reports on the power of the Wii U, but the rumoured hardware has it using a modified version of a GPU which has demonstrated performance on PC games at (roughly) 4 times that of the PS3 and XBox 360; and the claims of the Wii U being only as powerful as the PS3 came from unidentified sources from a business analyst. Being that developers optimizing engines towards particular hardware, efficiency gains from eliminating bottlenecks, and customizations applied to hardware could each increase real-world performance by 50% to 100%, estimating the Wii U at 4 times the performance of the PS3 and XBox 360 would be a very conservative estimate.
