1) I don't get why so many of you are expecting the situation to be any better with the WiiU.

2) The WiiU is expected to release with specs equivallent or slightly better than the current HD consoles.

3) Then 1 or 2 years after the WiiU, new HD consoles will release with specs 5 to 6 times better than the current HD consoles.

4) With that in mind do you expect third parties to be able to port titles for all 3 platforms , 2-3 years from now ?

1) It's a new console in a new generation.

2) Only fanboys expect this. Anyone knows that a console built with 2009 or later technology is going to handily whip 2004/5 tech. It's not even possible for 360 and PS3 to be in Wii U's league.

3) That's exactly what the Sony crowd said about the 360, and how the PS3 coming a year later would make it a million times more powerful than the "Xbox 1.5!" That didn't happen then and it's not going to happen now.

4) Of course, if they're smart. All this talk about scalable engines doesn't make sense if they're not, you know, scalable.

Then maybe Nintendo shoudn't show PS3/Xbox360 gameplay to demo it... Doesn't infuse a lot of faith...

We're moving toward a more digital era where digital releases are going to become more and more prominent and right now the only storage the WiiU is providing is internal flash memory...

Lets face it, EA or Activision rather you buy their games online  on XboxLive or on the PSN than at Wallmart, their share of the profit is bigger. Nintendo is going to have to provide similar channels and that will require internal storage better than what is scheduled in the WiiU...( i guess they could always do what Microsoft did with the Arcade and have a WiU model with a HDD..)



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
