They won't bring it out a major upgrade til Mid 13. The WiiU is the catch up system, not the next generation...


You'd have to be an idiot to believe that the company that sold the most consoles this gen and started a trend (motion controls) that the other two followed is making a 'catch-up' system.

i agree it is a catch up system. When the wii u releases it wil have just a little bit better specs and graphics than the ps360. Then if the ps4 and nextbox come out they will better hardware and graphics than the wii u. I imagine ps4 and nextbox will be CLOSE to pc graphics.

I don't know if you started gaming this gen but Nintendo's consoles have always been close to the others before the Wii.

An R770 GPU is more than just ' a little better' than PS360, especially since it will be customized.

That plus  the rumoured CPU, a nice amount of eDRAM and 1 - 1.5 GBs of system RAM would make the Wii-U a moderate jump over PS360 capable of much nicer graphics and other stuff.

Of course when PS4 and 720 launch a year after they will be more powerful but the gap will much, much smaller than Wii to PS360. Wii-U will actually be easy to port to.

You have a point, but i don't believe ps4 or nextbox will release in 2013 i think they will be mid 2014.  So they will have a two year better hardware. Plus i think MS and Sony always get the highest quality hardware parts. With both consoles now having the best sales in all of there years on the market.  I don't think MS or sony will be rushing out a new console yet nor will they be worrying over the wii u. Then on top of everything the wii u is rumored to be between $400-600. Also most of the wii u specs are just rumors and not concrete. So we'll just have to wait and see.  I don't really want to start a debate so im gonna call it quits after this.


Sony and MS will be launching in 2013 for sure.

MS because they'd love to launch before Sony again, Sony because they don't want MS to launch before them again and both because they're not going to give Wii-U two years alone on the market.

How is launching new consoles 7-8 years after the current ones rushing? It isn't.  And Sony and MS both know Nintendo are a threat. They compete in the same market as Nintendo, I don't see how they would "not be worrying over Wii U".

There is no rumour saying Wii-U will be between $400  an d $600. No one is crazy enough to think that's the price range Nintendo is aiming for.

The specs I gave were taken from GAFs speculation thread where they put info together from leaks and trusted sources. Nothing concrete but it's solid speculation.

I don't understand why you would get into the discussion if you just plan to make a post and then bail out.
