i think the Durango is going to be around 2 times more powerful than the WiiU, which is a lot imo
like PS2 vs Xbox
and we all remember how that ended up xD
seriously
its pretty clear the gap between the Msoft machine and Nintendo machine is not going to be that big this time....


could you please explain, why this is clear? Here is what we know or is rumored:

Wii U

  • 2 GB RAM
  • IBM Power 710 Express (4 cores) or 3 core version with 3.2GHz (maybe still 4 but with 4th dedicated to OS?)
  • AMD 4000 series

Xbox Durango

  • 6-8 GB RAM (according to this rumor)
  • IBM Power7 with 6 cores @ 3.7GHz (previous rumor) or 8 cores (according to this rumor)
  • AMD HD6550 in APU and/or AMD HD 7670 800MHz
    or some other 7XXX GPU in the Steamroller APU.

That seems to be quite a big gap to me?

Wii U Ram-  Unconfirmed

X-Box 720 Ram- Unconfirmed

Wii U-  Power 7 based CPU confirmed.  Core number unconfirmed. Clock speed unconfirmed.

X-Box 720-  According to this rumor it is not an AMD, it's an Nvidia.  So... stick with one rumor at least.  At any rate unconfirmed.

Wii U GPU- Custom AMD.  Otherwise, unconfirmed.

Making any comparisons based on the highly speculative information we have is really just silly at this point. 

Rumours are all that we got bud. 


If rumors are all we have, then personally I'd rather wait until there is something more concrete to go on before making unfounded speculations. If you have fun speculating on the rumors, by all means go ahead, but a lot of people seem to be taking these less than half complete rumored specs as gospel.
