| superchunk said: The idea that it will be "slightly" more powerful is where your logic fails. Go to my comparison thread and look at the rumored components. Its more than "slightly" more powerful. However, you are right that the ports could be no difference to barely any difference. For many games that are multiplats that will be the case. But I think some bigger names will show clear distinction and that distinction combined with specific first party titles will push some to upgrade. Granted, the Nintendo name and assumed image might be harder to get past as those players might be under false impressions that neXtBox and PS4 will trounce it again in power. |
Well fine if it is okay to be a graphics whore now because Nintendo is doing it, I am fine with that. {Double standards Padib 
} I have been one all my life though. I still will reserve my right to assume the games will be slightly below, on par, or slightly above this gens currents graphics power until I see empirical evidence that suggest the wii U will be much more capable. No sweat off my back if it is because the differences are most likely to be minimal.
I would say it is unrealistic to automatically assume the nextbox and PS4 will trounce the wii U in terms of graphics, but it is safe to think they will be a much greater jump than the Wii U is over the 360, or ps3. Once again,I cannot say either way, but I know developers constantly beg for a more powerful machine and I hope Sony and Nintendo improve the over the wii u drastically, so it actually feel like a new generation. They both have histories of catering better to 3rd parties which gives me reason to think they will continue to do so. Even valve might make the console I want the most next gen. the main point is assumptions are made off of little concrete evidence
