 From what we know the Wii U is at best 3 times faster than a X360,


Didn't you and I already have this conversation? You are being patently and willfully disngenuous, here. Cut it out.

We did? I honestly don't remember. And Im sorry if I previously admitted that there's a possibility for the Wii to be more than 3 times faster than a X260. Did I?


In a roundabout way. Remember? Obviously the 360 is only 3 times more powerful than the PS2 or Xbox, based on all those barely-upgraded multiplats it got early on.

Oh, now I remember. I admitted that I erroneously used the upcoming current-gen multiplatform games to the Wii U such as Assassin's Creed and Aliens Colonial Marines as an argument that the Wii U is hardly stronger than the X360. But I believe I also said that I instead was leaning on the rumors that the Wii U is using a GPU equivalent to a Radeon 4850, which is rufly 3 times stronger than the GPU in the X360.

Well, it has been suggested that it was based on the Radeon R700 which was used in graphics cards that had performance as high as 4 times what is seen by the HD consoles. Whatever chip they use will likely have been heavily customized over the past 3 years, will likely be in a system that has been designed to minimize bottlenecks, and software running on it will likely be heavily optimized to maximize performance.

While we can't know how powerful this hardware is without far more information, it is unlikely that it would be less than 4 times the processing power of the current HD console's GPUs.

Your post makes a lot of sense but you just said this discussion is moronic a few posts earlier.
