wii U will launch ~1 year (maybe even longer) before the next xbox (so xbox components will be cheaper) wii U is rumored to launch at $300 while the next xbox is likely to launch at $400 (maybe up to $500 for an "elite" model). wii U is likely to sold at a profit day 1, MS is likely to be willing to take a loss lead strategy again.
...if you don't think there will be a large gap in power you must think nintendo R&D is based on magic and rainbows. |
People are basing these off leaked info and they paint a picture of a gap that will be nowhere near as large as Wii to PS360 or PS360 to high end PCs.
Heck, we can look at the 7000 series to see what's the high end next gen consoles can do in regards to size,heat and power consumption. 7770/7850 would be the apparent high end which would be 3x/4x WiiU and that's not a gap anywhere as large as this gen.
It's not magic or rainbows, it's just that WiiU will be a more modern console than Wii was.
