z101 said: GPU and CPU that are much more powerful than those used in PS3 and Xbox360 don't cost much more than those. And there are other tech-specs just as important (like RAM-Size, eDRAM-Size, BUS-Speed and so on). The Wii U could be easily 5x power of the Xbox360 without a high price. There was this article from ign about the power of the Xbox3 about 6 x Xbox360 and WiiU 5 x Xbox360. And they said this information rely on "insiders". And this was before the reported performance boost for the WIi U-Dev Kits in January. |
I think the differences between the next box and the Wii U will be bigger, the Wii U kit is the latest one, the next xbox is one of the first and it will grow with the time just like the Wii U did. But the 5x Xbox360 seems nice and realistic possibility for the console, just to run stuff at 1080p it will have to be at least 2x better than the 360, add to that the needs to process the content of the control and you can reach 3x very fast.
