Now Wii U Is Less Powerful Than PS3/360? This Is Getting Stupid!

some use of common sense would benefit this thread

1. the ps3 and x360 tech are 6 years old and are still selling at the current price they are now. if the tech inside the wii u is to be more powerfull than the ps3 and the x360, then expect the price to be significantly highter

The XBox 360 Arcade model is regularly selling for $150 bundled with games and Microsoft is likely still breaking even or turning a profit.

2. the controller is a tablet, which would mean that it would cost a whole lot more than a standard controller, a crapy china tablet can go for $50 or so but its crappy as hell. if Nintendo expects the tablet controller to perform like a decent tablet, expect the price to go up by $80-$150 more.

It is not really a "tablet" being that it is a dummy device that doesn't contain most of the components of a tablet ... It is essentially a controller with a relatively small, relatively low resolution touch screen. While I would expect it to be more expensive than a controller to buy (due to accessories being high margin products) I don't expect it to have that significant of an impact on the price of the system.

1. it still stands that if the price is to be competitive, dont expect the wii u to be a whole lota more powerfull than the ps360 if it even is more powerfull.

2. it will still have a gpu and a processor and a touch screen, however low end it may be which will still equate to it being more expensive.

like i said, competitive pricing = same ballpark in terms of power when comparted to the ps360, more power = more expensive.

how hard is that to understand?
