Hey guys, for those who are not good at math, 50% and 2x may be actually the same. The words around them makes the difference:

Xbox 360: 100% the power, lets say 100 Teraflops.
Wii U: 50% MORE powerful, it is going to be 200 Teraflops(not 150 Teraflops).
Wii U 2x the power, still, 200 Teraflops(people often understand this sentence as 200 Teraflops).

Let me explain:

50% MORE powerful, means that we have 100 Teraflops as the base power, we need to divide / with 50%(PER CENT) and we get 200 Teraflops. Do the math in any calc and you will see.

2x The power, you only need to take the 100 Teraflops, multiply with 2, and you get 200 Teraflops.


¿Why it is not 150 Teraflops?

It is because 50 Teraflops, is not the real 50% diference between the base 100 Teraflops of the Xbox 360 an the "what we believed" future Wii U 150 Teraflops. The diference between 100 and 150 is only 33%, you need to take the 100 Teraflops of the Xbox 360 and divide it with 67%(PER CENT) in your calc and you will get 149.xxxxx, a number very close to 150.

 

And i voted for the "Who cares" option in the poll.

I'm too drunk to understand....

It's not hard to understand. Saying that something is twice as powerful as something else means that it is 100 % more powerful.

If the base level is 100 and you add 50 % (multiply by 1.5), you get 150. If the base level is 100 and you add 100 % (multiply by 2), you get 200.

So what you read above is either a longwinded joke or the result of a lacking educational system.

So I'm not drunk?
